We cooked this on MOM COOK CLUB LIVE! Watch the video here:

Ingredients (makes 24 meatballs)

1kg Mince (Pork and Veal, Beef or Chicken)
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
1 Medium Carrot, grated
1/2 cup Corn Kernels (frozen or fresh)
1/2 cup Capsicum, finely chopped
1 sachet Burrito Mix
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp Salt
1 - 2 cups Mashed Potato (a really stiff mashed potato is best)
1 1/2 cups Grated Mozzarella

Method

Preheat oven to 180C (170C for fan forced)
Combine all ingredients except the mashed potato and cheese and mix well.
Spray 2 non-stick muffin trays with olive oil.
Form the meatball mixture into meatballs about the size of a small handball and place into a muffin tray cup (this mixture should make 24 nicely).
Place a teaspoon of mashed potato on top of each meatball (if you have a large piping bag you could pipe the potato on top of the meatballs).
Top each meatball with a pinch of cheese.
Cook for approx 20 minutes - rotating the trays halfway through cooking.
Once the meatballs are cooked through, allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes.
Serve with a few corn chips, sour cream, salsa, avocado, a little salsa and add jalapenos or chilli if you like a little more spice.

One that is easy enough for my older boys to cook and make. If their younger sibling can make these, so can those in their early 30’s still living at home.

Nice ! We do something similar in a vegetarian version with mashed tasty tempeh and beans instead of the mince. I often serve it just with salad as it’s rather filling indeed.
