Paige Harris These Beef & Hidden Liver Meatballs pack a nutrient dense punch without the harsh flavor that turns so many people away from organ meats. Give em a try!
I know. Another recipe with liver in it.
But honestly, including nutrient dense organ meats like liver into your diet help your body in so many ways. Liver is packed with way more than your daily recommended amount of vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, and copper, and contains a big punch of iron, too.
And if you chop it up into really really tiny pieces and mix it in with some grass-fed ground beef (code PK10), some spices, an egg, and some rice crumbs, you can hide all of the taste but keep all of the nutrition benefits.
And that’s really what matters, right?
You can make double batches of these Beef & Hidden Liver meatballs, too. That way you’ll always have something healthy and delicious on-hand for a quick meal prep or dinner!
I loved adding my meatballs on top of some Easy Roasted Potatoes and some microwaved frozen veggies. Just a dollop of salsa and a sprinkle of sea salt and you have mealtime down!
I really do believe that fueling your body with wholesome, delicious foods like these can help you live a longer, happier, and healthier life. And we all can work on that, one meal at a time.
