• 1/2 cup yellow onion, minced
• 3 tablespoons tomato sauce1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients until well blended. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a sheet pan. Bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, turning them a couple of times during baking to allow them to brown on all sides. The meatballs should have an internal temperature of 175 degrees F. when a meat thermometer is inserted into the center.

Serving Suggestion

Move beyond traditional spaghetti and meatballs and serve these delicious meatballs over a bed of noodles with a rich mushroom-based or spicy Arrabbiata sauce. They make a fantastic meatball sandwich, too!
