Ingredients

(Serves 6)

• 1/3 large onion, minced
• 2 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
• 1 1/2 tablespoons egg substitute
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 F. In a small saucepan, saute the onions and garlic until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, combine the onions, cheese, parsley, garlic, egg substitute, salt and pepper; mix well. Add the beef; gently mix with hands until just combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs — about 3/4 ounces each. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160 F.
