Serves: 8
1. In a medium bowl, beat 1 large egg with a fork.
Add 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Mix well.
2. Add 1 pound lean ground beef.
Mix carefully with clean hands. Use about 1/2 cup of the mixture at a time and shape into eight meatballs.
Arrange meatballs around outer edges of a 12 x 8 x 2-inch glass dish with the same amount of space between them. Lay a piece of waxed paper over the top.
3. Microwave at 100% power (700 watts) for 2 1/2 minutes. Turn dish one-half turn. Microwave at 100% power 2 1/2 minutes longer or until meatballs look cooked and are no longer pink in color. Remove from microwave oven.
4. Tilt dish slightly, push meatballs away from edge and spoon off juices.
5. If you wish, serve with hot spaghetti sauce (see instructions below) and cooked spaghetti or noodles.
To Heat Spaghetti Sauce: Place 2 cups of store-bought spaghetti sauce in a medium microwavable bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, folding one corner of wrap back so steam can escape while cooking. Microwave at 100% power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Pour over meatballs.
