Prepping a large batch of these meatballs at the start of the week with help you to easily incorporate healing nutrients into your diet, and with this recipe you won't even realize you're eating liver.

Throw these on top of a salad, heat them with your favorite pasta sauce & zoodles, or dip them in ketchup & mustard as a bridge snack.
