I’ve been a bit meatball mad this month.
Meatballs are like a luxury food to me. It is rare that I would let a whole pack of mince be used for just one meal, I spend my life looking for ways to make my meals stretch further by adding beans, lentils or extra vegetables, so it isn’t often that I make meatballs for dinner.

I do LOVE meatballs though and they are a quick and delicious meal to prepare. This recipe is very simple but really tasty. If your kiddos wont eat kale, try them with these meatballs, they will never know they are eating it.
You can serve these meatballs with your favourite homemade sauce and spaghetti or by themselves with a baked sweet potato and salad.

A great way to use kale! Any way that I can get some extra kale in to my diet makes me happy 🙂
Me too!
Well, hi Charlie! I just found you via Google and can’t get over how similar we are! I read about you and I see you have my blog on your favourite blogs’ list. Thank you and I am glad you are enjoying.
About meatballs. I think it is genius to add kale. And I am like you – meatballs are a treat for us for same reasons. My grandma always made 3 meals out of whole chicken and I do the same. When you eat clean you really appreciate quality of ingredients thus working on a budget is super important.
Tell me, you do not use any seasonings and meatballs taste good? Like no salt and pepper?
Hi Olena! I love your blog which I found a few years ago through our shared pinterest board with The Gracious Pantry. I have never really needed to season my meatballs, I always try to use good quality meat and have never missed out on any salt or pepper but you can of course add any seasoning you like 🙂
I love making meatballs and they are one dish that I can usually get my picky eaters to eat too. I love that you’ve added kale to these. I’ve added fresh herbs before but never thought to add kale. Lovely idea, especially as I often end up with half a bag leftover after making something else!
I’m the same with Kale, always left with half a bag at the end of the week. I end up throwing it in everything just to use it up!
Hi Charlie,
I make a similar recipe with yours because I love meatballs! I usually add half spoon of different mixed peppers to make the dish slightly spicy. Great recipe, thank you for sharing!
