Ingredients

  • 2 LBS Ground Beef 90% lean
  • 2 Cups Shredded Carrots
  • 2-3 Cups Spinanch ((pre-boiled amount))
  • 3/4 Cup Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons ADOBO seasoning ((or whatever seasoning you like))

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and then cover and boil your spinach. While you are waiting for you spinach to boil, shred your carrots.

  2. Drain you spinanch and pat dry with a paper towel. Next you will mix 3 ingredients into one big bowl. Mix ground beef, carrots, and spinach thoroughly, then add your spice   

  3. Separate two chunks of the ground beef mixture. One you will be balling up as is. The other mixture you will be adding 1 cup of cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. I used an ice cream scooper to make the perfect size.

  4. As mentioned above add your 1 cup of cheddar cheese into one of the ground beef mixtures and thoroughly mix.

  5. To make the breadcrumb layer you will need 3 small bowls. One for the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in that order. Gently roll your balled up cheddar meatball into the flour (tap excess flour off), roll is into your whisked egg mixture, and then gently roll it in the breadcrumbs.

  6. Lay your finished cheddar and breadcrumb meatballs on top of a lined (i use aluminum foil) pan. Continue on to make the other set of meatball, this time just balling them up as is and setting them 

  7. Set in the oven for 40 minutes, let meatballs cool down for 5 minutes before enjoying.
