Ingredients

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 15 oz Wild Rice, cooked
  • 4 oz crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 medium shallot finely chopped
  • 2 Eggs, whisked
  • 2 TBLS rosemary, fresh chopped finely
  • 2 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 32 gluten-free mini pretzel sticks
  • 2 oz Bob’s Raspberry Chipotle Dipping Sauce
  • 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary for Garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F and lightly spray two baking sheets with olive oil cooking spray.
  2. Combine remaining ingredients (except pretzel sticks) and shape into 32 mini meatballs using a ¾-oz ice cream scoop.
  3. Place meatballs on baking sheets and bake for 8 minutes on bottom racks of oven. Flip each meatball over, rotate the baking sheets, and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes for a total cooking time of 16-18 minutes, or until the minimum internal temperature is 155F.
  4. Pull from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes on the sheet trays.
  5. Once they’ve cooled, pierce each meatball with a gluten-free pretzel stick (or bamboo toothpick!).
  6. Serve with 2 ounces of Bob’s Raspberry Chipotle Dipping Sauce.
