Kid Friendly Recipe!

We went to my friend Valeria's house for a playdate. She totally spoiled us with a yummy lunch of homemade hummus and carrots and these 2 dishes. The kids LOVED the meatballs, especially. I will definitely be making both these dishes. SO GOOD.

Hash Brown Casserole
½ package of hash brown
1 can of cream of chicken
1 ½ cups of mix cheese
Salt, pepper and your favorite seasoning

Coat the Pyrex and mix everything together, leaving a 1/2 cup of cheese to put on top. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.


**Mini Meatballs
¼ cup of plain breadcrumbs
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
¾ mix cheese or parmesan
Salt, pepper and your favorite seasoning
¼ cup olive oil
1 lb ground turkey or chicken

In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients and then add the meat, mix well and shape the meatballs. (50 mini or 30 medium size). Time saving tip-use small measuring spoon or mini-ice cream scooper to form balls.
Bake at 350 for 50 min or until golden brown.
Fun idea: make "meatball lolli-pops" by putting the meatballs on shish-k-bob sticks. Have favorite dipping sauces.
