Giant Meat-za-balls {Portion Fix/21 Day Fix}

I love a good meatball and these are no exception to that! These Giant Meat-za-balls are filled with pizza flavors and baked up in pizza sauce. Simple to make and easy to serve as a main dish or as a filling for a sandwich or in a pita.

What ingredients do you need?

Well, that is going to be up to you. I personally like onion, mushrooms, and peppers on my pizza so they made it into these! This is a few tablespoons of each ingredient. I measured them in my green container so that is 1 cup of pizza veggies.

I simply added those to 1 1/2 pound of lean ground beef. A few spices and a good mix/squish with my hands got it ready to make 4 giant meatballs. I just put the meat mix in my red container and then form my ball out of that amount. So that makes each ball count for 1R in my day.

I explain how to find an approved pizza sauce and my favorite brand in this post.

I tried stuffing them with some frozen mozzarella but it just kind of melted away. I might try to perfect that though cuz it sounds good!

I topped them with shredded parmesan cheese

What can you serve with these Giant Meat-za-balls?

All of that beautiful goodness would be great with a side of pasta with extra sauce from the pan to cover it!  Maybe a pasta salad like this one.

This day I just made a chunky veggie salad out of the same veggies I had used in my meat! A drizzle of an Italian vinegarette set if off perfectly.

Whatever you decide to serve them with, the Giant Meat-za-balls will be the STAR of the plate!! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!
