Beef meat balls

Irresistible beef meat balls, serve as appetizer, sandwich between bread for snack, save for dinners, etc

These are certainly irresistible meat balls. My mother was angry with me because she couldn’t stop at one. Most times, the best and most tasty foods come about when it is totally unplanned. I happen to have parsley and green pepper which needed to be used. It had to be immediate because the bell pepper was already on its way to the bin. Searching through the freezer, I found this ground beef which God only knows how long it’s been there.

I added generous amounts of the parsley  and bell pepper to the ground beef, cream crackers because it had been left by my dad on the counter which I know was forgotten. It looked really green and not pleasant before cooking. First taste after frying, was irresistible, I had to do it again for you guys. I love you.

The good thing about these meat balls is that, you can serve it for breakfast (if you in my world), lunch, supper, appetizers, snacks anything. You good to go. Just call friends around.

My mother is complaining about her thighs. It couldn’t be this, right?
