A perfect slow cooker recipe that gets the kids involved! Kids love mince and they also love helping in the kitchen.
This recipe is called Hedgehog Meatballs as the addition of rice, which sticks out of the meatballs, makes them look like little hedgehogs. Promise, no hedgehogs were harmed in the making of this recipe.
- If you don't have a slow cooker or crockpot, just use a big casserole dish in the oven at 80-100 °C over a few hours. Or bake at 180 °C for an hour.
- Use grated carrot for extra vege goodness and different coloured hedgehog "spikes".
- Add cheese before serving for kids needing more calcium.
- For extra energy, serve the meatballs on wholemeal pasta like fettuccine.
