Another savory dish! Can you believe it? I made up this recipe as I went pulling ideas from different recipes I've made before and it worked! They were really good meatballs and I was able to keep the calories pretty low. Enjoy!
Italian Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef (or whatever type of meat)
1 egg
2 slices Bread (I use a Healthy Life wheat... it is a low carb, high fiber bread)
1/3 c. Broth
1/2 onion grated
1/2 TBS Braggs (or Worcestershire)
1 tsp mustard (regular, spicy, brown)
1 tsp onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil (or whatever spices you'd like)
2-3 garlic cloves grated
1. Soak bread with broth and whisked egg. After a minute or so of soaking, mash up bread so it is no longer in pieces. Mix in ground beef and all other ingredients. Don't over mix the mixture.
2. Roll into meatballs and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until cooked based on the size you make the meatballs.
I was able to get 21 meatballs and each meatball was about 65 calories. These can be served with your favorite pasta sauce. I took a small can of tomato sauce, a can of fire roasted tomatoes (both no salt added), fresh spinach, and some Italian spices to make a sauce.
