Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and parsley if using.
Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, gently mixing until evenly distributed. Avoid crushing the cereal too much to maintain its crispy texture.
Using clean hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a plate or tray.
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs into the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Fry the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, gently turning them occasionally to brown all sides evenly. Make sure the meatballs are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Once cooked, transfer the meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the meatballs warm. They pair well with marinara sauce, pasta, or as stand-alone appetizers.
