I made a version of “Mainstay Meatballs” from the “Cooking to Cure” book and they came out so yummy that I just had to share. There are so many ways to play with this recipe – I hope you love these versions and create new ones that you love as much!
The changes I made are leaving out the sun-dried tomatoes and adding about 3/4 cup of leftover cooked butternut squash instead. Also, I used leftover kale instead of spinach, added about 1/2 cup of feta cheese and baked at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes. So good!

Mix spices together. Add to ground beef and mix thoroughly. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to mixture, using hands to mix together well. Roll mixture into 1 ½” balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375º for 15-20 minutes.
