Calories 275kcal

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb Ground beef
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber chopped
  • 2 tbsp Red bell pepper chopped

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick foil.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, cumin, breadcrumbs, milk, and season well with salt and pepper until fully combined. Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
  • In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sear the meatballs (in batches if needed, do not overcrowd the pan, leaving some space in between each meatball) until they have a nice outer crust. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for about 6-8 minutes or until an internal temperature of 155°F is achieved using a thermometer.
  • In the meantime, place the yogurt, cucumber, red pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and dill in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the meatballs; garnish with dill.
