Ham-Wrapped Meatballs

List of Ingredients




Ham-Wrapped Meatballs
YIELD: 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS:
500g Minced Beef (2 lb. Lean Ground Beef)
1 medium Onion, chopped and divided
2 Tbs. fresh Parsley, chopped
Plain Bread Crumbs
100g Shaved Ham (4 oz.)
1 Tbs. Butter
1/2 tsp. mixed Herbs
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Basil
225g Cheddar Cheese, grated (1 cup)
1 small can Tomato Puree



Recipe



DIRECTIONS:
Combine the minced beef with half of the chopped onion, the parsley, and just enough bread crumbs to create a firm, consistent mixture that is readily rolled into meat balls.
Roll the meat mixture into about 12 to 14 balls. Wrap a piece of shaved ham around each meat ball and fasten it with a toothpick. As you work, place the ham-wrapped meatballs in an oven-proof casserole dish.
Bake the dish in a pre-heated oven at 180-C (350-F) degrees for 20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
Meanwhile, sauté the rest of the chopped onion in a small skillet with a dab of butter for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let the meatballs cool a bit before removing the toothpicks.
Pour the sautéed onions over the top of the meatballs. Sprinkle on the herb mixture, garlic powder, and basil.
Smother the meatballs with the most of the grated cheddar cheese and pour on the tomato puree. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese over the top of the tomato sauce and return the casserole to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn.
