1. Heat oven to 400°F. Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg whites, water, salt and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into twelve 2-in. meatballs. Place on rack in broiler pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in 400°F oven 18-20 min.
2. Heat pasta sauce according to pkg. directions in medium saucepan. Add hot cooked meatballs to pasta sauce; stir to coat evenly. Divide meatballs and sauce evenly among rolls. Top evenly with giardinera. * Giardiniera is a mixture of vegetables, traditionally peppers, carrots, celery and onions, pickled in a white or red vinegar and oil mixture. It is sold in mild or hot varieties. * For easy clean up, line broiler pan (not rack) with aluminum foil. * Recipe Courtesy of The Beef Checkoff Nutritional information:
