Beef and Carrot Meatballs
"Simplicity at its best! This is what these beef and carrot meatballs are all about! The best food comes with simple ingredients, crafted to perfection to create comfort food to be enjoyed with family and friends. I love meatballs and love to create little variations every time I make them. These meatballs are simple and easy to make. I have used ground beef but you can make them with pork, turkey or even chicken. The carrots add sweetness and texture to these meatballs. And by now, you know that Panko bread crumbs are my number one choice when making meatballs."
