Ingredients

• 5 oz. package mac and cheese
• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the mac and cheese as directed, omitting the additional milk and butter. Let cool for 10 minutes.

3. Combine the ground beef with the grated onion and carrot, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Add in the prepared mac and cheese. Using about 1/4 cup per meatball, roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, spray with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes or until they are browned. The meatballs will feel soft; they firm up a little as they cool. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
