"Awesome meatballs that are actually sort of healthy! Well...they have fiber... All the amounts are approximate to give you an idea of the ratios. Normally I just wing it until the "pre balled" meat lump looks like a lump of bread dough and is no longer excessively sticky yet not dry."

Serves:: 8

ingredients

1 lb ground beef
¹⁄₂ cup barbecue sauce (I like hickory smoked)
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 egg
1 cup wheat germ

directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together everything except the wheat germ. It should be sticky and not stay together. Use your hands!
Add the wheatgerm and mix it up. It should look like bread dough. It should hold together, but not be dry and hard.
Roll into balls and place in an oil sprayed Pyrex.
At this point you can brush with some more bbq sauce but it is not necessary.
Cook for 45 min or until they are finished to your liking.
YUM!
