They are great dipped in ketchup, or in spaghetti or even with mashed potatoes and beef gravy! They are great dipped in ketchup, or in spaghetti or even with mashed potatoes and beef gravy!

Ingredients

    3 lb lean ground beef
    1/2 cup walnuts (measure chopped walnuts, then grind them)
    1/4 cup whole flax seed (grind this too)
    1 sleeve club crackers (crushed or ground, 44 crackers)

    2 T ketchup
    2 T bbq sauce (I use raspberry flavored)
    2 T worcestershire sauce
    2 medium eggs

Directions

Grind or crush everything that needs ground or crushed (crackers, flax seed, walnuts)

In a large bowl (you need to stir so make sure it's really big!) combine ground beef, walnuts, flax seed, crackers, ketchup, bbq sauce, worcestershire sauce, and 2 medium eggs.

(if you use large eggs the mix will be too wet, if you absolutely must use large eggs, only use one egg and add 1-3 T of ketchup if it is not sticky enough to soak up all the crumbs)

Roll them into balls, about a tablespoon and a half in size, maybe a little smaller. You will end up with 82 meatballs if you make them all uniform in size.

Put them on a cookie sheet lined with foil and very lightly sprayed with non-stick spray. They can be pretty close together because they shrink a little when they cook.

Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, until done.

Voila, meatballs!

A serving is two meatballs.
(I always eat more than two!)
