On Top Of Spaghetti – Meatball Recipe

School is ending this week for us and I would like to think that our life is about to slow down. But the truth is it’s just going to get busier. We may be minus the homework but summer means lots of activity and little rest around our house. So still my quest to stay in my budget and not eat out will still have to be conquered. Baseball, tee ball, tennis and trips to the lake, park and splash pad are just a few of the things that will send my hungry crew into a million different directions.

As I have said before I love meals that are quick and easy. They rank even higher on my list if I can prepare them ahead of time. This meatball recipe is one of those quick and easy meals. I can prepare it in the morning and toss it in the crock pot for later that night. I often make a double batch and quick freeze part of them to have for another night.

Meatball Recipe:

You will need,

1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 small onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®), or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup skim milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions:

Mix then ingredients together in a larger bowl. Make sure to work all the flavors together until well blended. I find it works best to mix it with my hands.

Shape small balls about 1 to 1 1/2 in round.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

This recipe works well with any type of sauce that you desire. We love to add them to spaghetti sauce or BBQ sauce.

HEALTHY Mozzarella Bites

On my quest for healthy eating, I find myself with cravings. I sometimes crave deep fried things like… mozzarella bites. Here is a simple recipe that scratches that itch for me.
.
Just take some low fat string cheese (for this picture I used two of the Weight Watcher brand Light Smoked) and cut them into pieces. Dip them into egg whites or skim milk (I used the milk for these, but I think I prefer the egg wash) and then bread crumbs. I like the Italian flavored bread crumbs, but plain work just fine. You can add in any spices or Parmesan cheese if you want. Spray your pan with cooking spray, place your bites on the pan and then spray your bites with the spray. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes. I make these in my toaster oven where I can keep an eye on them. You don’t want them to puddle up. The more fat in your cheese sticks, the less time they need to cook. I’m not sure you can make them with regular fat cheese sticks! So ymmv.
.

I eat mine with sugar free marinara. Delicious!!
