2 Pounds of 90/10 ground beef (Alan likes to use 85/15, which works well too)
1/3 Cup of rough chopped fresh parsley from the herb garden..if you don't have an herb garden, I suggest you start one then revisit this :)
2 Tbsp of soy sauce
1/2 Tsp of garlic powder
1/4 Tsp fresh ground pepper
2 Tbsp minced sweet onion
1 Cup of bread crumbs
1/3 Cup of ketchup
1 Tsp crushed red peppers
2 egg whites (or egg beater equivalent)
Dash of salt
Preheat oven to 350 and spray a banking sheet with a thin layer of Olive Oil Pam. Throw all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine thoroughly by hand. Form into cocktail size balls and place onto your prepped baking sheet. Pop into oven for 40-45 minutes until the tops of your balls are nicely browned. Do not open oven to check..that's what that lil oven light is for!!
Suggestions
-Bake the balls for slightly less time, 30 minutes. Remove from oven and gently remove from baking sheet and place into simmering marinara sauce
-Bake the balls for slightly less time, 30 minutes. Remove from oven and gently remove from banking sheet. Place into a slow cooker on low and cover with bbq sauce. You can sub the bbq sauce for teriyaki sauce and add some fresh pineapple chunks too!

Hey Tracie, I love to use oatmeal soaked in a bit of milk for meatballs or meatloaf. Makes it so light and fluffy. It's whole grain, too!
