   Serves 4
   Hands-on time: 15 minutes
   Hands-off time: 50 minutes
    
   INGREDIENTS
    
   500g uncooked beef mince
   1 tbsp Hinds Spices Southern Grill All In One Seasoning
   1 cup hard cheese
   2 tbsp mayonnaise
   2 tins (410g each) Rhodes Quality Chopped & Peeled Tomatoes
   400g uncooked macaroni
   1 tsp crushed garlic
    
   Serving Suggestions:
   Fresh basil
   1L Rhodes Quality Mango 100% Fruit Juice Blend
    
    
   METHOD
    
   1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and lightly grease a medium-sized, 30x20cm baking dish with non-stick spray.

   2. Add the beef mince, Hinds Spices Southern Grill All In One Seasoning and grate ½ cup of the hard cheese and mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. *Chef’s Tip: The mayonnaise acts as a binder for the meatballs.

   3. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mince mixture into your hands and roll it into a meatball; repeat until you’ve used all the mince.  

   4. Place the meatballs into the baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meatballs have browned and caramelised.

   5. Once the meatballs are browned, remove the dish from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.
   Add both tins of Rhodes Quality Chopped & Peeled Tomatoes, crushed garlic and uncooked pasta. *Chef’s Tip: Any quick-cooking vegetables can be added here.

   6. Use one Rhodes Quality tin to measure a tin full of warm water and pour it into the baking dish.

   7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.

   8. Remove the bake from the oven and grate in ¼ cup of the remaining hard cheese before stirring it through. Garnish by grating the remaining ¼ cup of hard cheese and adding fresh basil.

   9. Serve alongside a glass of the Rhodes Quality Mango 100% Fruit Juice Blend, and ENJOY!
