Directions
I wanted to lighten up my favorite Italian beef meatballs, and so these Beef and Spinach Meatballs were born. Adding spinach to meatballs adds volume and fiber so that you can eat the same number of meatballs with fewer calories. Plus, its a great way to sneak veggies into your picky kids meal. I also use 93% lean ground beef to help cut calories.,,My family thinks these are the ultimate meatballs. They dont mind the spinach at all. Ive tried them with turkey as well, but for this recipe, I prefer them with beef. If youd rather a turkey meatball, try my Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs. My eggplant meatballs or zucchini meatballs are great vegetarian options.,Italian Chopped Salad,Slow Cooker Italian Beef Hoagies,Spinach Lasagna Rolls,Italian Tuna and Brown Rice Salad,Pasta with Italian Chicken Sausage, Escarole and Beans
