Spinach Meatballs-Super Fast/Super Easy!

As I prepare to start the GAPS diet, I am practicing and figuring out recipes that are good and simple.  Last night I threw together these super easy meatballs:




3 eggs beaten
1 pound ground beef (I used grass fed but I think it's ok if you just hormone/antibiotic free)
1 bag frozen spinach
1 tsp garlic powder
dash of salt
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Puree thawed spinach.  Squeeze out excess liquid (I also put between paper towels and pressed out the liquid).  Get your hands dirty and squish ingredients together (I like this part.  It reminds me of playing with playdough).  Form itno golf ball size balls and place on cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 8-15 minutes depending on how well cooked you want them.  Note:  the longer the cook, the more dry they will be.

I served them with butternut squash fries and homemade ketchup (You could also use store bought organic.  Regular ketchup has yucky ingredients) and everything was so delicious and well received by the family.

That's it!
