🍲 Ingredients
Ground Beef – Of course, a classic meatball is made with lean ground beef, a good dose of protein that is incredibly versatile. However, if you’re not a red meat person, you can always use other ground meat like turkey or chicken. This recipe is great with ground lamb or pork too. Mint – What really makes these Greek meatballs unique is the fresh mint. Fresh mint gives a pop of flavor that you’re unexpecting but pairs so well with the other spices and meat.

Just keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook
🗒 Variations
Meat: Sub the ground beef with ground lamb, pork, turkey, or chicken. My personal next favorite beef is lamb. Pairs so well with the garlic and mint.
