Ingredients

  • 500 grams Lean ground beef
  • 100 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 large Egg white
  • 60 milliliters Low-fat milk
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0 Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg white, and low-fat milk. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Add chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 18-20 meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, ensuring they are tightly packed.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil to coat the surface.

Step 5

Place the meatballs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm, paired with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce or over a bed of whole grain pasta or rice for a wholesome meal.
