Sauce made with a can of tomato sauce, granulated garlic, home grown dried basil and oregano, star anise, s&p, red pepper flakes olive oil.

Chicken meatballs were free and worth exactly that much.

Smoked mozzarella from last year’s smoke cheese batch.

Cost per person: $1.86

Tell Herb to wash his hands before making meatballs.

Yeeesh.

I’m disappointed OP achieved zero browning on them.

I would have put those things over medium high heat with a little sesame oil and got some flavor going.

They didn’t grind the corporates fine enough.

They once did a study. They blindfolded people and had them eat steak. They said the steak was delicious.

Then they took away that plate, and brought out another plate of a steak. They told them to take their blindfolds off, and eat this new steak. The steak had blue spots. They told them they MUST eat 3 bites.

They reported that they felt disgusted by the blue steak. It tasted disgusting. And they felt insulted to have to eat that. They raised concerns throughout the whole thing about food safety.

Then after they documented the results, it was the same steak in both trials. The blue spots were just liquid food coloring dribbled on. Totally harmless. The steak was always safe to eat. The food dye was flavorless.

So when people couldn’t see the food, it was delicious. When they did see it, they had to hold back throwing up as they ate it.

I used the air fryer. They offered up only the smallest tank of browning. Then they visited the broiler to melt the cheese under them. Zero improvement.

Did I mention the meatballs were worthless?

They were pretty dense. I didn’t look free meatballs in the mouth but if I checked the packaging I bet I’d find that they were mostly meat with not much binder. So probably healthy.

Some meatballs have some kind of leafy parts in them.
