Cooking Steps

Make the cheesy mash
1

• Boil the kettle.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
• Drain and return to saucepan. Add the butter, milk, shredded Cheddar cheese and a pinch of salt to the potato. Mash until smooth. Cover to 
keep warm. 

TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!  

Prep the meatballs
2

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, All-American spice blend and the egg.
• Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of  the beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. 

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.

Cook the meatballs
3

• Set your air fryer to 200°C.
• Place meatballs evenly into the air fryer basket and cook until cooked through, 8-10 minutes. 

TIP: No air fryer? Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. 

Sauté the veggies
4

• Meanwhile, trim green beans and pea pods.
• Slice carrot into thin sticks.
• Thinly slice onion (see ingredients).
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook green beans and carrot, tossing, 2-3 minutes.
• Add pea pods, tossing, until tender,  2-3 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. 

Make the sauce
5

• While the veggies are cooking, heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.
• Add onion chutney and a splash of water, stirring to combine. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide cheesy mash, beef meatballs and sautéed veggies between plates.
• Top meatballs with sticky onions to serve. Enjoy! 

Little cooks: Take the lead by spooning the onion sauce over the meatballs!
