Sunday Night Dinner
It's very difficult to have beef and not have too many calories. Here's how I made the meatballs. Very easy, they turned out delicious. A little difficult to do this by the pound or kilogram, so will do it with the amounts I had.
Meatballs and Gravy
24 calories per 1 in meatball, Gravy(below) add a few calories more.
1.3 lbs of extra lean ground beef
7 crackers
1/2 onion chopped fine
enough water to moisten the crackers
1 tsp dill weed
a few drops hot sauce
( Vary the spices as you like. )
Add cracker and spices to bowl, moisten with water. Add meat and mix well. Make one inch meatballs, this should make a little over 40 meatballs. Place on cookie sheet lined with foil and spray with cooking oil. Bake a 400 for about ten minutes or until done. Make the gravy and put meatballs in gravy and let simmer for a few minutes.
Gravy
I used Bisto. Much less calories then regular gravy. I did not use any of the fat from drippings. Used 1 tbsp bisto for 1 cups water. Adds one or two calories to each meatball. ( about 45 calories in all for the gravy)
