Vegetarian Spicy Meatballs!

As a vegetarian, I made a meatless version of these meatballs. However, you can always use ground beef or the meat of your choice for this recipe. 

Here's what you'll need:

1lb Gimme Lean Meatless Ground Beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg (I used 1/4 cup Egg Beaters)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp yellow mustard
Cooking Spray


Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400. 

2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. The Gimme Lean ground beef is a little harder to work with than regular ground beef, so I had to use a fork to get everything really mixed in. 

3. Prepare a cookie sheet or cake pan with a thin layer of cooking spray. 

4. Form your meatballs and arrange them in rows. Bake for 30-35 minutes. 


5. Eat up!

These meatballs are great in pasta dishes or just by themselves. Personally, I dip everything in barbecue sauce, and these meatballs are no exception. Yum!
