Meatball Sub Sandwiches

So tonight for dinner we had the macaroni with cottage cheese dressing. Wasn't too bad. Too much onion, however. Most of the kids liked it. I made meatballs and put them in whole wheat hot dog buns. Here is the recipe with the nutritional value for just the meatballs.

4 egg white 1/2 C fat free milk
2 T dried minced onion 1 t garlic powder
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes 1 C oatmeal
2 T dried parsley 1 t dried oregano
1/2 t salt 2 lbs 96% lean ground beef

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray jelly roll pan. Combine everything. Makes 32 golf ball sized meatballs. Bake about 15 minutes.

Serving = 4 meatballs: 97 calories, 13 g protein, 5 g carbs, 2.5 g fat
I figured for turkey burger: 63.85 calories, 7 g protein, 2.5 g carbs, 3.52 g fat

As you can see, it wasn't worth much more to make them with turkey. I hopefully did my math right! Spread some spaghetti sauce on top. Topped the fam's with cheese and they were a hit!

Happy Eating!
