Healthy Baked Meatballs Recipe

These baked meatballs are a great healthy recipe for the Italian food lovers in your family. The onions sauteeing will fill your kitchen with the warm, delicious smells of Italy! With just a bit of tomato paste, you cut down on some of the fat for a more balanced meatball.

The whole milk and eggs will give these meatballs a rich, authentic flavor that will quickly make them a family favorite. With just a touch of garlic, they'll please even the pickiest of eaters in your family. You can double or triple the batch and freeze the extras in meal-size portions so you'll have a healthy recipe ready on those days you're just too busy to cook, just be sure to double-wrap them to prevent freezer burn.

Serve it all with a big salad for a quick, easy, and healthy meal.
