Low Fat Recipe Ingredients for Low Fat, Low Calorie Recipe

1 Pound of Extra Lean Beef OR Turkey

10 Saltine Crackers

1 Cup of Minute Rice, uncooked

1 Hen Egg

Salt & Pepper to the Personal Taste

½ Cup of Water

4 Tablespoons of Peach Jam

Crumble up crackers. One good way is to place them in a plastic bag from market village & allow small tots to pounce on them a bit. Mix crushed crackers, salt, pepper, egg, beef & rice. Form meatballs.  

Place into non-stick skillet with water, cooking covered for about 20 minutes or until done.  

Drain off unwanted meat juices. Add peach jam or preserves to pot for a sweet taste. Rice will stick out of side of meatballs like porcupine quills.   May’st be drizzled with a bit more of melted jam. Serve to King with bowl & licorice pipe.
