Recipe Primal "Mockballs"


The original recipe I posted for meatballs is much different than what I do now. Today in the busyness of summer I make "mockballs".
  1. Fry 1 pound of hamburger.
  2. Add BBQ sauce (I don't make it homemade, I use any brand I can find that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it).
  3. Serve over white rice.
  4. Add two vegies on the side - usually baby carrots along with something else.
I can prepare this dinner much faster than making actual meatballs and it's something that my family loves. Not totally a primal recipe, but I'm okay with adding rice  and a little sugar to our meals.

Another variation of this recipe:
  • replace BBQ sauce with butter and Frank's hot sauce to taste for a Buffalo flavor

  1. today I found a primal recipe that uses shredded carrot, instead of bread crumbs to make meatballs! I'm going to try it out and see if it actually works :)

  2. This would also be good over quinoa instead of rice to add a little more protein.

  3. Sara - let me know how it turns out!

    Anon - good point. I should try quinoa again - I didn't rinse it the first time I made it and it had a very bitter taste.
