6 Ingredient Meal: Meatballs, Rice, and Brussels Sprouts

My meatballs include vegetables in them that make them taste
flavorful and comforting. Here's how I made them:

Ingredients for Meatballs:

1 lb 95% lean ground beef
1/2 onion (finely chopped)
1/4 bell pepper (finely chopped)
1 large carrot (finely chopped)
salt & pepper

In a bowl, mix the ground beef and vegetables
together. Roll into small balls. Then in a saucepan,
carefully place rolled balls onto the pan. Cook,
rotating them periodically,on medium heat until
they are cooked thoroughly.
*Helpful hint: they won't fall apart if you let
them completely cook on the first side, then
they can be rotated without falling apart.


Let's talk about the rice:

I know that brown rice is much
healthier than white rice. However, I
think that white rice is fine as long as it is
not smothered in butter or other fattening
sauces. I am completely against the boil in a bag,
and or 1 minute rice. Real Enriched Long Grain
White Rice is what I use. It takes approximately
20 minutes to cook.

Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts:

Brussels Sprouts
Onion
salt&pepper


And voila.....a whole meal that has exactly
6 ingredients but still has wonderful flavor!
