Dilled Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
- 1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- Dill weed
- 2 Tbsp. salad oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 beef-flavored bouillon cube

DIRECTIONS
- In large bowl with spoon, mix beef, oats, eggs, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. dill weed. With hands, form the ground beef mixture into evenly shaped 1-inch meatballs.
