Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400
degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, lamb, ground round, spinach, cheese, egg, basil,

your hands, mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Use immediately or place in

meatballs into rounds, roll in the bread crumbs and place the meatballs in individual,
miniature muffin tin cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
