Breakfast Meatballs!

I made a huge batch of these meatballs last weekend to have for this week and to freeze. They turned out delicious, and the kids are inhaling them. We serve them with eggs, cut fruit, and a cup of milk. They also tasted delicious on top of Paleo/SCD muffins and covered in gravy. (Recipes soon to come!)

Ingredients

2 lbs of grass-fed ground beef
1 lb of ground pork (or 1 lb ground liver, turkey, or another lb of beef)
10-15 baby carrots chopped
1 cup of chopped onion
4 large eggs
fresh sage
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
maple syrup - optional (drizzle if you choose to use not figured into calories)

Directions

If cooking in over pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. If cooking in a crockpot you will stack the meatballs in the crockpot, and cook 8 hours on low.

Directions:

- Put veggies and sage in food processor to chop
- Put veggies and all other ingredients in bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Form balls or make patties.

These freeze well, my three kids love them, and it's an easy recipe to change. For use with spaghetti sauce use Italian herbs. If you like maple syrup add 2 tablespoons. The possibilities are endless.

Number of Servings: 56

Cost:

3 lbs beef (local butcher): $12

Organic Carrots (Costco $5/5lb): $.25

Fresh Sage: $.25

4 Organic Eggs (Costco): $1

Onion: $.25

Almond Meal (make my own): $.75

Total: $14.5

(This seems like a bit much for the Frugalista in me, but broken down the batch will give our family of (5) 5.5 meals. That's $2.50 worth of meat per meal, and a lot of protein without fillers)
