Beef Meatballs in Tomato & Maple Sauce | Healthy Recipe



I love trying out new flavours and getting inspiration from things I see on TV. I heard about a tomato and maple sauce with meatballs, and had to try one out for myself. 

I made this low syn and tasty version, that cooks perfectly in the slow cooker. I used a low sugar maple flavour syrup, but you could also use maple syrup and syn it.

Method-

In a large bowl mix the mince, half the minced garlic, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together well. Roll into 12 even meatballs.
