Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% fat free)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 slices reduced fat cheese (each cut into 6 evenly-sized pieces)
  • 3 pieces of turkey bacon (cooked according to package directions, each cut into 8 evenly-sized pieces)
  • 24 dill pickle chips
  • 4 large green leaf lettuce leaves (torn into 24 (total) small square shaped pieces)
Instructions
  1. Combine the beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and salt in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
  2. Form mixture into 24 small meatballs (approximately one TBSP each). Place meatballs onto a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on. Top each meatball with a piece of cheese, then return to the oven until cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. Assemble the bites: on a toothpick layer a cheese-covered meatball, piece of bacon, pickle chip, piece of lettuce and a half tomato, in that order.
