How to Make Rice Krispie Vegetarian Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine 5 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup pecan meal, 1 package of dry onion soup mix, and 4 eggs into a large bowl. Mix well.

Form into 1 inch balls. Using the palm of your hands, roll into firm balls. Note: Don’t squeeze or squish them, just firmly roll them.

Place onto baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Cover with vegetarian gravy of choice.

You Might Also Like

Gravy – If you have trouble finding vegetarian gravy, look in the gluten-free section of the grocery store. Often times the gluten-free gravy doesn’t have meat fat or flavoring.

Scoop – When I scoop the mixture out of the bowl, I use a 1-inch cookie scoop. It makes the job of putting these into a ball shape super quick and easy!

Efficiency – I like to place the scooped mixture onto the pan first. Once the bowl is empty, I go back and roll each meatball. I do it this way because your hands get pretty messy so I save that part for last!

Serving – You can serve these as a toothpick appetizer with or without gravy. Serve as a side dish at mealtime. You can put these in a sub bun with marinara sauce. Or, serve them on spaghetti!

Make ahead – You can easily make these ahead of time, just don’t cover with gravy until ready to serve.

Freezing – These freeze nicely! Just place into a freezer safe bag once cooled.
