Breakfast Meatballs
A homemade seasoning mix with ground pork and bacon creates flavorful meatballs for breakfast!
Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork (Note 1)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- 8 strips bacon
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- ½ cup milk (Note 2)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup quick oats (Note 3)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the eight strips of uncooked bacon to a food processor and pulse until chopped into small pieces. Otherwise, use a sharp knife and cutting board to chop.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped bacon, ground pork, and the seasoning mix: salt, parsley, poultry seasoning, ground black pepper, dried thyme, crushed red pepper, and ground coriander.
- Next, add the green onions, milk, egg, quick oats, and shredded cheese.
- Using clean hands, mix the meat mixture until combined.
- Grab a small cookie scoop and place equally sized meatballs on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Once proportioned out, use your hands to roll into meatballs.
- Bake meatballs in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Serve meatballs with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
Note 1: Use unseasoned ground pork, not breakfast sausage.
Note 2: Dairy milk or unsweetened almond milk will work.
Note 3: If substituting for old fashioned oats, know that the meatballs will have a bit of a different texture. If making these for someone with celiac disease or a gluten/wheat allergy, use certified gluten free quick oats.
Storage: Keep leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
