Many people embark on a small weight loss program early in the year.

And we want to help with a hearty casserole.

Even in cold January there is still time for hearty soups and stews as well as roasts.

With one or the other, however, after a possible holiday feast, the view will have prevailed that in the first month of the year it can be a slightly lighter dish from time to time.

Lose weight with a hearty casserole?

Yes, you heard right!

This

casserole with meatballs and Brussels sprouts

is definitely not a calorie bomb, even if it is even topped with cheese.

There are no potatoes, gnocchi * or the like in it.

And if possible, we also avoid serving baguettes with it.

The very easy preparation of Brussels sprouts

The

Brussels sprouts

move into the baking dish in a pre-cooked state.

To do this, cut the stalk of the purchased Brussels sprouts to a length of two millimeters and remove the outer dirty leaves.

Then the stalk is cut in a cross shape to ensure that the florets and stalk (the latter is much more compact) cook for the same length of time.

Put it in the hot water and after about 10 minutes take out a Brussels sprout, cut it and taste it.

When it has finished cooking, the rest can be poured off.

The meatballs are turned quickly

It really just depends on which

spices

you use.

Either you follow the information below the list of ingredients.

Or you can buy a ready-to-use spice mix or mix your favorite spices together.

You can't go wrong with the sauce

This can be seen at a glance if you take a good look at the preparation.

Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil, anyone can do it.

And then add the chopped tomatoes.

Season and simmer a little.

Bake the casserole and enjoy

Now just put all the ingredients in a baking dish, put the cheese on top and bake for a few minutes.

In conclusion, it can be said:

Meat fans

and

vegetable fans

alike get their money's worth here.

Thanks to the tomato sauce, the meatballs and Brussels sprouts don't get too dry.

And the cheese that was used for gratin will certainly not scare anyone ...
