Healthy New Years Appetizer

IntoFit | December 30th, 2008 | Recipes and Meal Ideas | 1 Comment »

I have a New Years party to go to and everyone is bringing an appetizer. I want to bring something healthy that everyone will enjoy, but I don’t want it to be a veggie platter. (They already have one). I also want to bring something that has the ability to fill me up a bit and keep me away from some of the other unhealthy treats. So, I’m going to make Mamie’s Meatballs! Meatballs are always a hit! They are easy to eat with a toothpick and quick to make. I love this recipe because they are exactly what they say they are, MEAT BALLS! No filling, no bread crumbs. Mamie does make this with a whole lot of sugar, I opt to take ALL the sugar out! I personally don’t think it needs it!


Mamie’s Meatballs
*Should be made at least one day ahead.

  • One package lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup Campbell’s tomato soup ( low sodium if you can find it)
  • 1 can tomato juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  1. In a pot on medium, saute onions in olive oil until soft.
  2. Add soup and juice to the pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Roll ground beef into small 1 inch sized balls and place them into boiling sauce.
  4. Once all the meatballs are in the sauce and boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes.
  5. Let cool and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. It’s important to let these guys sit- the sauce has to have time to creep into the meatballs!

    The author of http://www.blog.intofit.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: The less you know about something, the easier it is to hate it. Thanks for the info.
