Joyfully Domestic: Meatballs

One of the things we Americans love is our pasta.

I know I do.

But lots of carbohydrates don't support our weight loss efforts.

When I have a craving for spaghetti and meatballs I opt out of the spaghetti part and make this:

Meatballs

1 pound lean ground beef

1 T mustard

2 t reduced sodium soy sauce

2 t Worcestershire sauce

2 t hot sauce

1 clove garlic

1 egg

Mix everything in a bowl except the meat.

Add the meat. Work as little as possible to get it all mixed. up.

Now I have tried 2 method of cooking these.

The mini muffin pan... bake in the oven way. (350 deg for about 15 m btw)

And the brown in a pan way.

I MUCH prefer the pan way. The browning is better.

See?

Don't forget to weigh your portion size. If you are doing the 5+1 with me you need to keep it at 5 ounces.

Now all you have to do is add your "green". I picked steamed broccoli. 1 1/2 cups of it to be exact.

Enjoy!
