Homemade Meatballs Without Eggs

Homemade meatballs are high up on my family's favorite dinner lists. They are pretty simple to make and you can freeze you extra meatballs for your crock pot later in the week. Two dinners done in one.

While I was prepping for dinner the other night with my original meatball recipe HERE....I realized I was out of eggs. The cook in me a year ago would have said, " well I don't have my egg I can't make my meatballs." But not the cook in me today. The cook in me today searched through my cupboards and pondered what would work like an egg.

Viola! Then it clicked. I am always researching about how Paleo diets; or should I say a healthy lifestyle; and what they use to substitute certain foods. Therefore today I am letting you in on the yet so simple secret next time you run out of egg for your meatballs. Or if you want to choose not to use an egg in your meatball. Now on I am no longer using an egg.

No egg= Use grounded flax seed and a little bit of water in your meatball mix.  I used 1 Tablespoon of grounded flax seed and about 2 Tablespoons of water. 

My meatballs turned out perfect. They did not crack or fall apart. Not even when I took them off the cooking sheet.

TIP: If your meat mixture is not yet meeting that sticky consistency yet just add a tiny bit off milk.
