Want to cut down on eating red meat and also get more whole grains in your diet? (Not to mention cutting food costs!) Get some whole wheat kernels. Crack them (grind coarsely) in a hand grinder or coffee mill. Or you can buy it already cracked.
Cook 1 C. cracked wheat in 1 3/4 C. water about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
Add 1/4 C. minced red onion
2 T. Braggs Liquid Aminos (or use soy sauce, but Braggs is better)
1/2 C. whole wheat flour
1/2 C. rolled oats
Spices: 1 1/2 t. cumin, 2 t. dried basil, 1/2 t. coriander; dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Shape into meatballs, about an inch in diameter, and brown in skillet. I use a little coconut oil, even in a no-stick skillet. Serve with spaghetti sauce (I use my home-canned) over pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta. You can also use this wheatball recipe to make patties instead and use them in place of hambergers.
