This recipe uses impossible burger as the meat replacement, I personally love how much it tastes like real beef. If you want a vegetarian or vegan meatball recipe that doesn’t use impossible meat then you should check out these other recipes.

I am not vegetarian, but I do love cooking meals on occasion that are meat free or vegan. I love building up the flavors that are found in a traditional meat dish but in a meat free way so that they taste like the real deal. These meatballs are one of those dishes! I really enjoyed these and didn’t miss the meat at all.
