Vegetarian Meatballs

Though I have never tried to use this in spaghetti and meatballs, I do enjoy eating this with a nice and semi-tangy glaze on it. This dish will satisfy your vegetarian friends and the carnivorous ones too!

Ingredients:

1 lb of vegetarian or vegan ground beef (Morningstar Grillers Crumble, etc.)
1/2 c or more chopped walnuts
1- 1 1/2 c soda cracker
1 medium onion finely chopped
4-5 eggs
1 c cheese (I like cheddar, but use what you have on hand)
1 package of Lipton Onion Soup

• Preheat oven to 350º
• Mix the above ingredients thoroughly
• Spray Pam in a 9 x 13 pan
• Form mixture into balls and place in pan
• Bake for 25-30 mins
• Make this glaze while meatballs are baking:
• 12 oz of apricot or pineapple jam with 1/2 c ketchup
• Mix together and thin out with a little water
• Take out pan and spoon on glaze over meatballs
• Bake for 10-15 mins more

These meatballs go very good with brown rice and sauteʻd veggies. I am working on coming up with a Vegan option for this. I will keep everyone posted!

Enjoy!
