We especially love it for meal prep. The meatballs store beautifully and pair with just about anything.

It never gets old!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Meatball Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to a big bowl and mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. You can use a utensil but it is so much easier to mix with your hands.
- To shape the meatballs you can either use your hands and roll them into a ball or I use an ice cream scooper for them. They arent perfect balls but they are good enough for me!
- Add avocado oil to a pan (or your preferred oil) and set to medium. Once hot, add in your meatballs and brown on all sides.
- Always check the temp with a thermometer, once cooked to temp add them to a serving dish with a lid to keep them warm while you make the dip.
Garlic Dill Dip Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- Taste and adjust accordingly.
Putting the Recipe Together:

- Enjoy!
