Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds Ground Beef
• 4 soft hoagie rolls (6 to 7 inches long each)
• 2/3 cup plain fat free yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chopped tomato

• 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped

• 1/3 cup plain fat free yogurt
• 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Cut rolls in half most of the way through. Remove and reserve a strip of bread from inside of each roll half. Set rolls aside. Place bread strips in food processor container. Cover; process to form crumbs.

2. Combine 1 cup bread crumbs, ground beef, 2/3 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Divide beef mixture into 12 2-inch meatballs. Place on rack in broiler pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in 400°F oven 24 to 27 minutes.

   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

3. Meanwhile combine Creamy Yogurt Sauce ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.

4. Place 3 meatballs in each roll. Top evenly with Creamy Yogurt Sauce, tomato, cucumber and olives.
