Easy Homemade Meatballs

These easy homemade meatballs are tender, flavourful and super simple and quick to make. Oats and egg help bind everything together, while tomato sauce and fruit chutney add a lovely little bit of sweetness and flavour. If you are looking for an easy meatball recipe – as in it takes 5 minutes to prep ingredients, 1 minute to mix and a couple minutes to roll – then this is that recipe!

All you need are some very basic pantry ingredients to add to the mince and then you just roll em up into little balls. I use these meatballs for lots of different meals – meatballs and spaghetti sauce, meatballs, mash and gravy as well and my meatball pasta bake which is absolutely delicious and a tried-and-tested family favourite.
