Here is how you make Sophy's Low Fat 50/50 Meatballs:

In a medium bowl combine all ingredients until just blended.Using a small cookie scoop (aprox 1") form well packed meatballs. Place on a small cookie sheet until entire batch is done. Hand roll each meatball to make them even and smooth in shape. NOTE: No need for flour or oil, we will not be browning these!In a 2 qt saucepan, fill 1/2 way with water or stock. Boil over med heat. When water/stock reaches full boil, drop in 5 meatballs at a time and boil for about 1 minute. They will not cook through.Remove and set aside to freeze or pack for use later. I purposely undercook these and finish them in whatever sauce I am preparing for that meal.To finish thawed meatballs, place in the sauce, turn to coat and simmer 5 minutes with the lid on the pot/pan. If frozen, add 3-5 minutes more.*To make breadcrumbs, use whatever bread you have on hand, drier bread is easier to use. Hand crumble and place in a small food or spice grinder. Process into crumbs.Serving Size: Makes 45 1" meatballs or 9 servings of 5 eachNumber of Servings: 9Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EMS-WIFE.
