Try the Alison Holst mince book recipes: she even has some that you can make in the microwave.
Posting one I use often as well:

Baby Meatballs
(For 48 Baby Meatballs):
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
2-3 spring onions
1/4 cup chopped parsley
450-500g minced beef/pork.
1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
1 egg white
1 TBSP cornflour
1 TBSP soya sauce
1 TBSP sesame or light oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

Chop onion, garlic and spring onion finely.
Place into thefood processor bowl and addother ingredients gradually, pulsing the mixture to mix evenly.
Using wet hands roll the mixture into balls.

Cook in a non stick pan drizzled with 1-2 TBSP oil
for 1 - 2 mins each side, working clockwise around the pan to turn the balls.

Serve withIndonesian dipping sauce on the side.

Indonesian Dipping Sauce

2 cloves garlic chopped
2 tsp grated root ginger
2 TBSP dark soya sauce
2 TBSP Lemon juice
1 TBSP oil
3-4 drops hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBSP peanut butter
1/4 cup water

Combine ingredients in small pan and heat, (or microwave in a pyrex jug,) stirring until smooth and thickened.
Sauce can be diluted with extra water and lemon juice if it is too thick.
It will thicken as it stands.

Any of the meatball recipes above sound yummy, but instead of frying them I line them up in an oven dish ( or 2 if making lots) and bake them in the oven on fanbake for 10 minutes at 190C.Turn them over if you want all-over browning. Oven dish is better than a tray in case they drip.Cool & freeze.I get 12 dozen out of 2.5kg mince, golf ball size.
