Pesto Meatballs

Italian food on Sunday is a weekly tradition around here. Meatballs. Theres nothing better. What makes these awesome is the beef I get from my neighbor. Such great flavor, and always so lean. Support your local farmers and get to know where your foods coming from!

-1 lb raw ground beef

-1 large egg

-1/3 cup pesto  

-1 Cup quick cooking or rolled oats

-1/2 tsp salt

-1 tsp black pepper

-1 Tbs garlic powder

-1 tsp dried oregano

-1 onion finely diced

-1 green pepper finely diced

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Roll into 16 meatballs. These equal 1 ounce per meatball. Brown in olive oil on all sides in batches. Once browned plop them right into your spaghetti sauce. Let cook for 30-60 minutes on medium low. This finishes the cooking and melds all the flavors.
