INSTRUCTIONS

- Mix together onion, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, cheese, salt, pepper and parsley in a large mixing bowl.

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.
