Because I always double it, I use 1 lb beef & 1 lb lamb (usually just use breadcrumbs but have also done the pork rinds); serve it up on homemade naan or pita. It's a family fav!

It's a great way to use up leftover garlic bread if you have any! I hope that helps.

I love to do that with the meatballs to let all the flavors mingle for a bit. These meatballs are flavorful, but prepping ahead really amps it up!

Prepped everything in the morning, including meatballs which I kept refrigerated until ready to bake...so that added a few minutes to bake time. Served with Greek orzo pasta salad.

This will vary depending on the ingredients you use as different brands of things like yogurt or the flatbread will have different counts, but I hope this helps.

If you want to try a more Italian style meatball to pair with red sauce, I recommend using fresh basil like I do in my Easy Meatball recipe. It really adds a ton of flavor.

Also prepped the salad well ahead so the salt could work on the veggies. Everything came out great. My son says we should open a family restaurant and serve only this. My wife says it's only 6 points on weight watchers if you leave out the flat bread.
