i'm one of those cooks who "doesn't measure" - this is my take & you can def make it your own.

1.5lb ground chicken or turkey

brown with garlic - salt / peper

throw in 2 cloves of garlic - can't have enuff for me

3/4's of the way cook - drain, then add 1cup shredded cabbage/carrots/green onion

hoison sauce & light soy - to taste

i let that mixture cool - then take a tbsp into wonton wrappers (i do a bunch at a time) & steam them. i freeze them, then take out as i want, and pan sear them in seasame oil. i like a spicey tai dipping sauce.

i have these at least twice a wk.

I was wondering if the Parmesan meatballs are something that you make or buy already prepared???

I make them!

1.5 lbs Ground Beef

3/4 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese

2 Eggs

1 tsp Dried Parsley

Dash of Pepper

2-3 T Butter

15oz Can of Tomato Sauce

1 Clove Garlic

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

1/4 tsp Basil

1/8 tsp Oregano

Combine beef, cheese, eggs, parsley & pepper until well mixed then shape into meatballs. Melt butter in a large skillet and cook until all sides are browned. Place browned meatballs in the crock pot or a casserole dish suitable for the oven.

Combine the tomato sauce, garlic, onion powder, basil & oregano. Pour over the meatballs, stirring gently to coat.

Turn crock pot on low for 1-4 hours OR bake, uncovered in an oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

**I make them in the crock pot and although the recipe says 1-4 hours, I let them cook on low for 6-7 hours ... they turn out really tender and oh so yummy!**
