Yes, I did Mean Beef Meatballs With Chicken
Here is a very easy recipe for beef and chicken meatballs. So yes, the chicken is at least half of the meat mix but you cant really feel it. So these are still beef meatballs but you do get juiciness and lightness from the chicken which is very important. Especially when you oven bake the meatballs!
I chose to bake the meatballs in the oven because I already fried the onion and didn’t feel frying them in oil is necessary. Also, we had some people over in the evening and although I love the smell of meat I felt that, in that case, it might be a bit overpowering. If you ever fried anything, especially meat, you know what I’m talking about…
In any case, I assure you that there is no compromising in taste when it comes to oven baking them. They just taste great and in my opinion even taste better cold the day after. Though the chances of them even getting to the fridge is not that high…
If you need more ideas about how to use ground beef then try making our version of Shepherd’s Pie or Best Meat Lasagna.
