Meatballs on a Stick

1lb Ground Beef (I use Ground Turkey)
1/8 Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
¼  Tsp. Salt
½ Tsp. Garlic Powder
½ Tsp. Dried Oregano
1 Tbsp. Dried Minced Onion
½ C. Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
¼ C. Skim Milk (almond or oat milk for Dairy Free)
½ C. Quick Rolled Oats (Gluten Free if needed)
2 Egg Whites (Chia Egg substitute for allergies)

Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Beat together egg whites, oats, and milk. Add parsley, onion, oregano, garlic powder, salt, crushed red pepper flakes. Mix together with meat of choice until well combined (hands are gross but really work best) Form into small balls and place on baking sheet. Bake @400 degrees 7-10 min. or until no longer pink. They can also be fried if you desire but it is much healthier to bake:) Cool, skewer and serve with Marinara Sauce for dipping.

We also use these Meatballs for:
Spaghetti and Meatballs (There is no separate recipe for that, kinda self explanatory:)
Mini Meatball Subs
Sliders (squish down flat and cook like a burger/serve and eat on a roll)

These can be frozen raw or cooked. If I freeze them cooked I boil them in the marinara sauce to reheat. If frozen raw, defrost and cook as desired.
