Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as ground pork in Steps 2 and 3, baking uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 20-25 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as ground pork in Steps 2 and 3, baking uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 22-25 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Vegetables

    Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.

    Break green beans in half. Combine green beans, 2 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in provided tray.

    Spread into an even layer. Bake uncovered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Green beans will finish baking in a later step.

    While green beans bake, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Add the Meatballs and Potatoes

    Finely crush crackers.

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, crushed crackers, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form into six evenly-sized meatballs.

    Drain potatoes and pat dry.

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove tray from oven. Add potatoes, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Push vegetables to one side. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Place meatballs in now-empty side of tray.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    While meatballs bake, combine fig spread, mustard, and 1 tsp. water in another mixing bowl.

    Carefully remove from oven. Top vegetables with cheese and let melt, 1-2 minutes.

    To serve, top meatballs with fig mixture and crispy onions. Bon appétit!
