Meatballs Packed with Cabbage

Since my son hates vegetables, I came up with this recipe that allows him to eat meat and veggies together.

In Step 8, check to see if there is any meat juice left in the pan. If not, add 1/4 cup of water to the combined A ingredients.

Since the mixture is a little loose, try not to touch it too much in order to prevent it from falling apart. Recipe by souffles
