Found this . Serving with pasta and marinara, or with sauce on a hoagie, is suggested. My whole family loved them, and they're a fussy bunch. A great way to work in some whole grains and veggies. Next time I will at least double this recipe. Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground beef |
3/4 cup cooked quinoa (see note) |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1/4 cup grated carrot |
1/4 cup grated zucchini |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
1 tablespoon chopped garlic |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500°F Line a large baking sheet with foil then spray with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined. Shape into 16 balls and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
3. Note: To cook quinoa, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small pot. Pour in 1/2 cup quinoa, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
