Looking for a hearty, fuss-free dinner that the whole family will love? These Quick & Easy Meatballs are just the thing. Juicy ground beef is mixed with fresh herbs, garlic, and capsicum for a boost of flavour, then wrapped in smoky streaky bacon for that irresistible crispy finish. Best of all, they take only minutes to prepare and bake to golden perfection in the oven – no frying pans required. Serve them with a simple salad, roasted veggies, or even tucked into a warm roll for a meal that feels special without the effort.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
500g lean mince
1 small onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 capsicum, diced
1 egg
½ cup (30g) buckwheat flour
¼ cup coriander, chopped
1 tsp oregano
12 slices streaky bacon
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place all the ingredients apart from the bacon in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well using your hands. Once everything is well combined, form 12 meatballs the size of a golf ball (use a ¼ cup for measuring).
Wrap each meatball in a slice of bacon and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. For the last 4-5 minutes, set the oven to grill for the meatballs to have a crispy outside layer.
