Beef and Quinoa Meatballs

These meatballs are AMAZING! I prefer them with a little sweet and sour sauce but you could have them with your pasta or on a sub too.

1 lb grass fed ground beef
3/4 C cooked quinoa
1/4 C diced/minced onion
1/4 C grated carrots
1/4 C grated zucchini or chopped spinach
2 T ketchup
1 T minced garlic
1 T soy sauce
1/2 t each salt/pepper
1/4 t each dried oregano/thyme
1 egg

Mix everything together and form into meatballs. They will feel loose, as if there are too many wet ingredients. Don't you dare add breadcrumbs :o) Put on a baking sheet and cook in 500 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. I assure you that you will feel very good about yourself after eating these meatballs! Enjoy.
