MTAL #6

This was my very first Asher-friendly meal and my very first attempt at making up a recipe (sort of). We call them Asher meatballs.

Asher Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 cup rice
1/4 cup onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
2 Tbsp rice milk
salt and pepper
olive oil
store bought or homemade tomato sauce (Prego fresh mushrooms is Asher friendly)

1. Combine all the ingredients except for the oil. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Heat the olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides in the hot oil (I usually need 2 batches to get them all browned).
   
2. Transfer the meatballs to a slow cooker. Cover in tomato sauce and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.
3. Just before serving, stir in another 1-2 cups of tomato sauce. Serve over hot rice (or noodles for the non-allergic crowd).

Serves 6-8.

This is the first meal I made that Asher truly loved. We all really like it too. It might sound weird to serve tomato sauce over rice but it's actually really good and much easier than cutting up noodles for little ones. Enjoy!
