5 Minute Meatball Meal To Make Tonight If You Can't Be Bothered To Cook

We love a good meatball – who doesn’t? – and these homemade ones are embarrassingly simple. Plus, of course they are 100% microwave-friendly, making for a mega-quick, post-work supper that you don’t need to feel bad about.

We’ve paired them with a basic homemade tomato sauce (again, zero time) and some of that snazzy new cauliflower rice, but if you’re made of stronger, carb-loving stuff then you can always swap for ready-to-heat rice.

All in, this one takes 5 minutes and you can’t argue with that for a nutritious and delicious dinner, can you?

Meatballs In A Herby Sauce

You will need:

100g extra lean beef or pork mince

1 medium egg

½ onion, diced finely

1 cup of stock (I used ½ veg stock cube)

Handful fresh chopped herbs (almost anything goes)

Heaped tbsp tomato paste

½ pack CauliRice
