Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground lamb
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1/2 cup canned evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon butter
• krusteaz pancake mix

Recipe

• 1 saute onion in butter until transparent and soft.
• 2 mix oatmeal, eggs, and canned milk until combined. mix the beef and lamb together then add the oatmeal mixture, onions and spices. beat with a mixer until fluffy.
• 3 using 1/3 to 1/2 cup of meat mixture (depending on how big you want your vikings) form a ball. place meat balls on a baking sheet or pan. cook in a 400°f oven for about 15 minutes until done. remove from oven and allow to cool.
• 4 when the meatballs are cool enough to handle, stick a wooden "popsicle" stick in each one (you can usually buy these at any craft store).
• 5 mix the krusteaz pancake batter with water, make it thicker than usual so that it will coat and stick to the meatballs.
• 6 hold the meatball by the wooden stick and dip it into the batter, then drop it into a deep fat fryer with oil heated to 375°f roll it around so all the sides cook evenly. cook until golden brown. remove from oil and drain on a plate covered with paper towels. serve with ketchup, mustard or what ever you want!
