‘You know what’s perfect on a cold, rainy, miserable day?’ she asked her almost 100k Instagram followers.

The ingredients required are lean beef mince, tomato pasta sauce, a hotdog roll, and Jarlsberg lite cheese slices.
Bec also recommends adding seasonings like Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to taste – along with vegetables of your choosing.

She then added the meatballs to a fry pan and sautéed them with 50g of tomato, garlic, and herb pasta sauce until they were sizzling.
After, she cut a hotdog roll in half and added in spinach, the meatballs, and topped it off with two slices of Jarlsberg lite cheese.
The meatball melt contains 12g fat and 34g carbohydrates with a hefty 40g protein.
