Anyone else love meatballs as much as I do?  Especially when the meatballs are covered in a yummy sauce?  Before you know it, you could could consume 10-15 meatballs without even realizing it this has NEVER happened to me.  Anyhoo, I ran across this recipe and I think it has serious promise to be delicious AND not so bad for you.  If I didn’t already have dinner plans, I would whip this up tonight!

Appetizer Meatballs (Low Fat Country Cooking cookbook)

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
