Step 1

Servings Serves 4 to 6

Step 2

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cornmeal, 1/2 cup V8 juice, beaten egg, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix these until well-blended.

Step 3

2. Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs – you should get around 16 to 20 meatballs.

Step 4

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
