Ingredients

  • 12 oz raw extra lean ground beef
  • cup pizza sauce
  • 3 tablespoon bread crumbs
  • Dash salt & pepper
  • 2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 package reduced fat pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 1 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F, line a large baking sheet with some foil and spray foil with some cooking spray. Make your meatballs first *Note- you can use frozen meatballs to save on time but you will have to adjust points accordingly, I prefer to make my own and I added a little pizza flare to mine.
  • Mix your ground beef with your bread crumbs and 2 tablespoon of your pizza sauce, add in salt & pepper and 1 teaspoon italian seasoning.
  • Roll out beef mixture into balls, each one weighing approx 0.7 oz, cook in oven for approx 25 minutes, turning over half way.
  • Lower oven to 375F, roll out your crescent dough. Cut each triangle in half and place dough pieces into a sprayed mini muffin tin. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese into each cup, about ½ Tbsp.
  • In a bowl mix your cooked meatballs with remaining pizza sauce, place 1 meatball into each dough cup.
  • Sprinkle a little more cheese on each meatball, about another ½ tablespoon so that each cup has 1 tablespoon of cheese in each, top with remaining italian seasoning.
  • Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, makes 16 meatball cups at 3 smart points each (3 points plus)
  • *Note- you can make ahead of time and warm up before serving.
