Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 pound ground beef
½ cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ onion, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 cups cooked couscous

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Combine beef, bread crumbs, egg, 3 tablespoons mint, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and pepper in a large bowl. Form into 24 meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.

I thought the meatballs were a bit bland, but the couscous was great.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more sauce next time.

Not bad, but not great either. The meatballs were a bit dry and the couscous was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
