Spicy Meatballs with Fiery Chili Sauce

From The Biggest Loser Cookbook



Ingredients:
1/4 pound ground beef
2 tbsp cooked brown rice
1/4 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp fennel seeds (left out)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp dried minced onion
salt & pepper
2 1/2 tbsp chili sauce
1/8 tsp hot-pepper sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400.

In a medium bowl, combine the beef, rice, and spices (through salt & pepper.) Mix well. Form the mixture into 8 1" meatballs. Place the meatballs in a single layer on a small nonstick baking sheet. Bake for about 7 minutes, or until the meatballs are just barely pink inside. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the chili sauce with the hot-pepper sauce. Pour the sauce over the meatballs. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.

This recipe is for one serving, so you'll need to increase as needed. I didn't have chili sauce, but I found a recipe for it online using tomato sauce. These were pretty tasty for being "healthy."
