Beef and Zucchini Meatballs

By Bizzy319

A great way to stretch out meat, and perfect to make a meatball sub with leftover pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 ball - 2 points, 2 balls – 5 points, 3 balls – 7 points
• 1 zucchini (mine was 6 ounces)
• 8 ounces ground beef (I used 20% fat – nice!)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup egg beaters
• 1/4 cup fresh basil
• 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper
• A couple teaspoons of oil to pan fry.

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, mix the zucchini, garlic, egg beaters, basil, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Pour into a large bowl, add ground beef and mix with your hands just until mixed through.

Pan fry the meatballs for 4-5 minutes, turning so all sides get browned. Add to your next spaghetti night, or do what I did and make and amaze"ball" sub sandwich!
