Mini Meatballs

I don't remember where I found this recipe - I've made it so often, I've memorized it. The trick to these meatballs is to only plan to use half of them - that's all I ever have left by the time I'm ready to put them in something else. It's the only time I've ever had ground beef melt in my mouth.

ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1⁄4 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
directions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix really well.
- Roll meat into 1" balls- at this point, you can either continue or freeze them for later use, providing your beef wasn't pre-frozen.
- Arrange the meatballs on a rack over a foil-lined pan (for easy clean-up).
- Bake in a 400ºF oven for about 10 minutes, or until meatballs are browned- you can also freeze them at this point, or use them in other dishes (or just eat them plain).

My grown son is such a picky eater! He has been like this since he has been a little boy. Throughout the years, I continue to introduce him to many different foods, but he simply refuses to even take a little taste. After reading multiple recipes on different websites, I decided to make these meatballs, wondering if he would even try them. Well, he did. He said they were FANTASTIC and that I needed to make them AGAIN! WOW! ... I finally found a winning recipe for meatballs and they are so simple to make!Reply
