Spinach Meatballs image

This recipe provided by Texas Beef Council. It is lean and packed with iron. Baked, not fried and can be frozen.Update: 03/13/2010 Elainemae, a reviewer suggested we use infant's rice cereal instead of breadcrumbs and it serves a dual purpose - increase the iron content. Great idea! :)

These meatballs were a great way to use up some leftover spinach. They were also very tasty and easy to make.

I thought the meatballs were a bit too spicy. I would use less chili powder next time.

I found the meatballs to be a bit bland. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

These were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
