Name: Spicy Cajun "Boudin" Meatballs
Total time: 1 h
Yield: 24
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: Ground Beef; olive oil; onion; celery; green bell pepper; garlic; white rice; egg; Cajun seasoning; hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Cook 4 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender and begin to brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer vegetables to large bowl; let cool 5 minutes.
Step 2

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine Ground Beef, vegetables, rice, egg and Cajun seasoning in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 24 1-inch meatballs.

Cooking Tip:
If using leftover refrigerated rice, let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before using.
Step 3

Place meatballs on rack in broiler pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake in 400°F oven 18 to 20 minutes or until 160°F. Serve with hot sauce, as desired.

Cooking Tip:
Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
For easy clean up, line broiler pan (not rack) with aluminum foil.
