Meat muffins with broccoli
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. These cupcakes are a great alternative to regular meatballs, and they can be made not only for lunch or dinner, but also taken outdoors or on a picnic. The cupcakes are very easy to make, just like ordinary meatballs, but the bright and healthy surprise inside makes them juicier. Another big advantage is that while meatballs are fried, our cupcakes are baked, making them healthier. And it's convenient for the cook too—no need to stand by the stove frying. The finished dish is ready to be served.
