Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
Topping
1 cup seeded and diced tomato
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper
Meatballs
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper
3/4 cup low-fat marinara sauce
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine all topping ingredients. Gently mix until uniform. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg whites/substitute, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Firmly and evenly form into 12 meatballs.
Lay meatballs in the baking pan, and evenly top with marinara sauce.
Cover pan with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil, and bake until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parm. Bake until mozzarella has melted, about 5 minutes.
Finish with topping.
