  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 32 meatballs

Ingredients

500 g Beef mince

2 tbsp Tomato sauce

2 tbsp Barbecue sauce

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Egg

1/2 cup (60 g) Stuffing mix

2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Extra tomato sauce, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine beef mince, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and stuffing mix. Mix well using clean hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into level tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a tray or plate.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, shaking the pan often to brown evenly on all sides.
  4. Continue cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes per batch.
  5. Serve hot with extra tomato sauce for dipping or over pasta for a meal.

Notes

For a lighter version, use chicken or turkey mince.

Add chopped onion, garlic, or herbs for extra flavor.

Bake instead of fry — 200°C for 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Chill mixture for 10 minutes before rolling if too soft.

Freeze raw or cooked meatballs for up to 2 months.
