Why use Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®?
Why use Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®?
As the first crisped rice cereal, Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® has been bringing families together in the kitchen for over 80 years.
To experience the timeless flavor, make your Rice Krispies Treats® squares with the original Rice Krispies® brand cereal.
2. In large bowl combine egg, KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal, salt, pepper and onion powder. Add ground beef; mix well. Divide into 12 equal portions. Shape into large meatballs.
3. Place meatballs on prepared pan. Push one cheese piece into center of each meatball, reshaping meatball to completely enclose cheese. Roll meatball to cover all sides with oil.
4. With adult help, bake at 350º F for 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve meatballs in rolls. Top with ketchup (if desired).
Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
Children of all ages should have an adult assistant with them at all times when cooking.
1. All the kids will love to get their hands into the meatball mix, but over-mixing ground meat means tough meatballs. Give each chef a portion of the mix (after you have initially mixed it) and then let them form their very own mini meatballs.
2. Older kids will be able to help insert the cheese and reshape the meatballs.
The first time I ever ate a Krispie square, I was 10 years old. My auntie made them cutting the pan of treat into squares or butter up her hands and roll them into balls. Mmmmm,that buttery taste as well as the chewy marsh mellows and Rice Krispies. Rice Krispies was a favorite cereal on Saturday mornings with honey or sugar and milk. As soon as we poured the milk onto the cereal it was a contest to see who's popped the most and the loudest.
