How to Make Ugandan Kababs

  • Soak bread slices in water for 3 minutes.
  • Remove from water, and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Crumble into a large bowl.

  • Add ground beef, and work in with your hands until well mixed.

  • Heat 3 cups of oil in a large, deep, heavy bottomed frying pan at 375 degrees F.
  • Cook meatballs in hot oil until brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • To check for doneness, cut one in half to see if cooked through; it should be cooked in the center.
