  2. In a small saucepan cook the onions until they are soft and tender. Let them cool.
  3. Mix together onion, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, cheese, salt, pepper and parsley in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add in ground beef and mix gently until combined. Do not overwork. Form into 1-inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheet.

NOTES

Makes 20 meatballs
1 meatball is 1 smart point

I like these meatballs better without the onions added but if you like onions feel free to add those to the recipe. You can sub 1/2 tsp of onion powder.
