Abs Diet Buffalo Meatball Sandwich

Another go-to meal in this house are the simple and delicious meatball sandwiches part of the Abs Diet cookbook.  These meatballs are made from ground buffalo and are very simple to make and come together very quickly.  I served these meatballs with homemade crusty bread and it was delicious.  Give buffalo a try!

Abs Diet Buffalo Meatball Sandwiches
from Abs Diet
1 pound lean ground buffalo
2 egg whites
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 french baguette or crusty bread
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 jar (14 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt-free all-purpose seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 thin slices mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.

2.

Mix the buffalo, egg whites, wheat germ, onion, Parmesan, and garlic. Shape into 12 meatballs and place in a baking dish that's been lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (turning once) or until cooked through.

3.

While the meatballs are cooking, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and remove some of the interior bread to trim the carbs and make room for the meatballs. With 5 minutes left to bake the meatballs, place the bread in the oven to lightly toast. After you do that, brush the meatballs with the oil and season with the all-purpose seasoning and pepper.

4.

Warm the spaghetti sauce in a pan over medium heat. Spoon the meatballs into the sauce to coat and then line them up in the bottom bread half. Top with the mozzarella.

5.

Return the baguette to the oven for about 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Allow to cool for a minute and cut into slices
