One Point Meatball

Leave a reply

Here’s a simple recipe that uses simple ingredients most of which can be found in your pantry. I was wondering what to make for dinner and really want meatballs so I looked through some cookbooks and got the idea to make these. They are 1 weight point per meatball and they are super yummy. Completely 100% hubby approved. Serve with a nice side of rice and mixed vegetables for a healthy dinner with the family.

Ingredients:
  • 1 large Egg White
  • 1/2 cup of Rice Krispies
  • 2 tablespoons of Ketchup
  • 2 tsp of freshly minced Ginger or Ginger in a jar
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion
  • 1 tsp of Horseradish
  • 1 tsp of Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp of Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 pound of Extra Lean Ground Beef
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  3. Roll mixture into ten 1 – 1.5 inch balls and place in a greased pan (I use my stoneware since I don’t need to grease it and it cooks evenly throughout).
  4. Bake for 20 mins – 25 mins serve and enjoy.

Another Meatloaf Recipe

Leave a reply

I know here we go again with yet one more meatloaf recipe. This one is spicy and made to serve, no cutting required. I use an 8 individual mini loaf pan so I don’t have to cut the meat loaf. It saves time and all that mess. Plus it is great for portion control. The best part is that 2 individual loaves are 5 weight watcher points. Serve this with a side of salad and you have a great cozy home cooked meal.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 Cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1 celery stalked finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon of rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon of savoury
  • 1 teaspoon of thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce
  • approximately 1/4 cup of tomato sauce (careful not to get the sauce on the sides of the pan, as you can see I got some sauce on the pan and it darkened a bit.)
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Spray a mini 8 piece loaf pan.
  3. In a large pan add the water, and all the finely chopped vegetables and cook for 5 mins.
  4. Drain the water from the vegetables.
  5. In a large bowl add the vegetables with all remaining ingredients except for the tomato sauce.
  6. Mix ingredients and add even amounts to the 8 individual loaf pan
  7. Place in oven and cook for 30 mins.
  8. Remove from oven and distribute the tomato sauce on top of the individual loafs. About 1 – 1.5 teaspoons and spread so the tops are covered.
  9. Replace loaf pan in the oven and cook for another 30 mins.
  10. Remove from oven and serve.
