Why do we love a meatball? They are so easy for little bubs to pick up and feed themselves but also mash easily if they aren't up to feeding themselves yet. Mincemeat is also a really affordable way to get meat into your family (hello protein and iron). It cooks quickly and is super versatile.

Age and modifications: From 6 months.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Allergens: Wheat (can swap to almond meal).

This recipe is one that freezes well too, so you could double it and freeze half for the freezer stash.
