Simple Low Fat Meatballs.

"I got this recipe from a Women's Health magazine. They suggest you add Cajun seasoning to these since they are supposed to be an appetizer. Also, their nutritional information is that these have 20 calories each, .5 fat grams, and 3 grams of protein. Not a significant source of sodium, carbs, or fiber."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Dice tenderloin into one inch cubes.
  • In a blender, add all ingredients and pulse about 16 times until well mixed and evenly ground.
  • Roll into 32 meatballs.
  • Place on baking pan and spritz with Olive oil.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until juices run clear and they are no longer pink.
  • **Note: I am saying this makes 32 servings for nutritional ease of understanding. However, I would say if people eat about four each, then you would really get 8 servings.

  1. Easy recipe -low fat too. I confess that I used xlean ground pork, ground special by my butcher then I used up some leftover sauce from A crock pot Cranberry pork roast - The sauce was wonderful on the meatballs. Although I pan fried them I only used a spritz of "No Oil" browned them and then added the sauce and simmered them for a half hour. - All still very healthy

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a SAHM with four kids. One who is allergic to dairy and soy, another who is a pescatarian, one a voracious carnivore who recently told me she likes meat that moo's when it's served to her, and another who is transitioning from vegetarian to vegan. With all these issues in our home with food and cooking I would die without this site! <br> <br>I like to OAMC and finding new ways to cut down my budget. I also like scrapbooking, reading, and cooking new things. While I enjoy cooking I just don't have tons of time in the kitchen to make complicated dishes, so I really like easy, fast, cheap, and healthy meals. I am under the delusion that there is a perfect cookbook out there somewhere, but am probably mistaken ;) Finding the perfect cookbook is probably like finding the perfect purse, it'll never happen but I keep trying! <br> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <br> <br><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/BabzyBC/Siggy/Recipezaar/JJJ-Done-1.jpg"> <br> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
