This recipe makes a lot. These meatballs have the perfect blend of texture and savory spice. My husband and kids absolutely love them. Feel free to substitute ground turkey for the beef. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef
1/2 lb italian sausage
3 eggs
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon oil (for browning meatballs)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients and knead together. Shape into 36-1 balls.
2. Using a large fry pan over medium heat, brown meatballs equally on each side, about 7-8 minutes.
3. Add to an already prepared large pot of spaghetti sauce and cook on a low simmer for 30-40 minutes. Test for doneness.
4. If freezing a large amount, skip the last step of adding them to the sauce, and instead, bake them on a large baking sheet in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes, spaced 1/2 apart. Let cool. Drain any visible grease, cover with foil and flash freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. After frozen, you can then place the meatballs in a Ziploc freezer bag to store in your freezer for up to 2 months.
