Bean Sprout Meatballs

Meatless meatballs made with using
a can of bean sprouts, drained and
mixed with flour and then seasoned
with black pepper and spices.
These nuggets look and fry up like
meatballs with a meat like texture.
Served warm in red tomato sauce
you'd think they were made with beef.

Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts
1/4 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
canola oil for frying
tomato sauce if desired

Directions:
Drain and squeeze out water by
pushing the top lid of the can
into the can to remove liquid.
Place bean sprouts in a food processor
and pulse once or twice just to chop
up a little and place in a mixing bowl
along with flour, pepper, onion
and garlic powder. Mix to combine.
Form mixture into walnut sized balls.
Place in a bowl with bread crumbs.
Shake to coat all over with crumbs.
Preheat saute pan to medium high heat.
Add in canola oil and when hot add in
the bean sprout balls to brown all over.
Remove and serve with red tomato sauce.

OMG these are so good tasting,
my kids can't stop eating them.
I can't believe there's no meat in these, thanks for this one.
