We’re just 8 days away from the Super Bowl! I thought it was time for me to start thinking of some appetizers I could make and eat without feeling guilty. I came up with a couple of winners today!
The first thing I made was meatball sub cupcakes. I used this meatball recipe.
I only used 1/2 of the meat mixture for this. I also made the meatballs into smaller portions.
Half of the recipe made 24 mini meatballs. I only cooked the meatballs for 5 minutes by themselves. That’s because they cook the rest of the way inside of the crescent rolls.
I used one tube of reduced fat crescent rolls for this. When I rolled out the dough I pinched it together to make one solid rectangle.
Then I used a 2 inch circular cookie cutter to cut out 24 circles.
My mini muffin tin was sprayed with no-stick cooking spray then I put the dough into them. You’ll want to gently push the dough in the bottom then up the sides.
You will put one meatball into each dough. Then you top with cheese and bake 11-13 minutes.
They taste great on there own or with a low point pizza sauce.
