Healthy Meatballs with Hidden Vegetables
This healthy meatballs recipe is made with ground beef and hidden vegetables. Your picky eater won't know there are veggies in dinner because you can't see or taste them! Baked in the oven, or you can cook them on the stove top (or toss them in the slow cooker). Either way they're a homemade family favorite (and toddlers love them).
