I worked on this recipe and adapted it to meet the needs of people who can’t tolerate very spicy food.  It has a nice flavor without being overwhelming in the spice department.

Ingredients:

• 1 clove garlic minced (or 1 tsp crushed garlic from a jar – my favorite quick method!)
• 1/2-3/4 tsp ground paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef, lamb or turkey

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well blended
3. Using a table-spoon scoop out a spoonful of meat and roll into a ball.  Place on cookie sheet. Repeat until the cookie sheet is full.
4. Slide tray into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

These are really tasty with a little unsweetened ketchup.  Enjoy!
