Cost: $8.62, $1.44 per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ½ pound Pork Sausage or Ground Turkey
- ¾ cup oats quick-cooking
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons onions finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, ½ pound pork sausage (or ground turkey), ¾ cup quick-cooking oats, 1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
- Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the liquid.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, either 1-inch in diameter for smaller meatballs or 2-inch in diameter for larger meatballs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. Cook in batches if necessary.
- For 1-inch meatballs, air fry at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes.
- For 2-inch meatballs, air fry at 350°F for approximately 15 minutes.
- Shake the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Check smaller meatballs around the 8-minute mark and larger meatballs around the 12-minute mark, as cooking times may vary by air fryer.
- Cook until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F for pork sausage or beef mixtures, or 165°F if using ground turkey.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sauce, pasta, rice, or as an appetizer.
