Country-Style Sausage Meatballs

• 300 g beef mince
• 300 g sausages (I used Greek loukanika but a mild Italian sausage is close in flavour)
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (you may need a bit less depending on your meat)
• 1 egg
• oregano
• salt and pepper

1. Carefully cut the sausage casings and scrape out all the contents into a bowl.
2. Chop them so that they resemble mince and then add to the beef mince.
3. Add breadcrumbs, egg, tomato paste, salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
4. Combine very well with your hands making sure that you have incoorporated the sausage and the spices well.
5. Allow to sit for 30 minutes in the fridge (or overnight for best results).
6. Roll into long, oval-shaped meatballs and place in a greased baking tray.
7. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees celcius for 40 minutes.
8. Serve with ketchup, mustard and a green salad. Yum!
