Wheat Germ Meatballs image

Awesome meatballs that are actually sort of healthy! Well...they have fiber... All the amounts are approximate to give you an idea of the ratios. Normally I just wing it until the "pre balled" meat lump looks like a lump of bread dough and is no longer excessively sticky yet not dry.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (I like hickory smoked)
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 egg
1 cup wheat germ

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together everything except the wheat germ. It should be sticky and not stay together. Use your hands!
  • Add the wheatgerm and mix it up. It should look like bread dough. It should hold together, but not be dry and hard.
  • Roll into balls and place in an oil sprayed Pyrex.
  • At this point you can brush with some more bbq sauce but it is not necessary.
  • Cook for 45 min or until they are finished to your liking.
  • YUM!

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but they had a good flavor. I think I would add more moisture next time, perhaps by using a different type of breadcrumb or adding some milk to the mixture.

I was surprised at how well these meatballs turned out. I've never used wheat germ before, but it added a nice touch of flavor. The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and they held together well.

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