CREAM OF THE WEST MONTANA MEATBALLS

Everybody loves meatballs! This recipe is a real crowd pleaser, great for a gathering, a sandwich or to pack in a lunchbox.

 INGREDIENTS

1 lb. good quality ground beef

1 lb. ground pork

1 cup Cream of the West Roasted Ranch Oats

1 large onion, chopped fine

1 cup breadcrumbs

12 oz. milk or beer

1 ½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp. allspice

½ tsp. ground cloves

 

DIRECTIONS

Combine meat and onion, mixing well. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixture being sure to work the ingredients well into the meat. Roll mixture into 1 ¼” balls and brown in hot oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Transfer browned meatballs to casserole dish or roaster and bake slowly at 300 degrees – about 12- 15 minutes.

Flour may be added to drippings to make gravy.

Note: I sometimes use Italian seasonings or curry powder rather than allspice and cloves for a different flavor.

Top with gravy from drippings, BBQ sauce or marinara!
