While I won't go into why these are called meat spheres instead of meatballs, my DD found this recipe in my recipe file and made some up. Although we are not much for meat spheres, we opt for this recipe because they are simple, baked instead of fried and are versatile. I have made these into tiny meatballs for appetizers as well. I often make double the amount and freeze some for later meals or subs. Freezing instructions follow cooking instructions. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1/2 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup milk |
2 eggs, beaten |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together and shape into balls ~ about the size of a golfball.
2. Brown the meatballs by placing in a shallow baking dish and baking at 350ยบ for 15 minutes until golden brown.
3. Place hot meatballs into sauce and let simmer while your pasta cooks.
4. Here's how I freeze the meat spheres ~ I make them up and cook them as above. I let them cool a bit, place on a cookie sheet in the freezer and when they are frozen, transfer to a ziplock. I take out the amount I need for dinner and put them in a pan with a jar of sauce (or more depending on the number of spheres I am cooking) and let them simmer for 30 minutes at least ~ no need to defrost them first ~ until they are cooked! Very simple!
