Clever Ways To Use Those Underused Items In Your Pantry
Oatmeal + ground meat
If you want to make meatballs but don’t have breadcrumbs on hand, dried oatmeal can do the trick. Combine it with your meat, an egg, and your preferred spices, and it will add nice bulk while acting as a binding agent for your meatballs. It’s best with light meats like ground chicken or turkey and works great for chicken meatballs in marinara sauce (which you probably also have in your pantry).
