After searching for a meatball recipe for ages, I finally came up with this one and it's a hit. Great in spaghetti, meatball hoagies, etc. They also freeze well after cooking.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup italian style breadcrumbs
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons dried parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
olive oil
Directions:
1. If using oven method- preheat to 350 degrees.
2. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Spread a little olive oil on cookie sheet to coat.
4. Form meatballs and place on cookie sheet.
5. Bake about 15 minute.
6. Turn meatballs and bake 10-15 minute longer.
7. Use in your favorite Italian recipe.
8. * These can also be pan-fried in olive oil on Med. to Med-Hi if you prefer.
9. Cook's note: After baking, the meatballs can be frozen. In order to keep them from freezing together, pre-freeze on a cookie sheet spaced apart. When frozen, place in freezer bags for later use. Then just use as many as you want. They can be thawed but I just put them into my sauce frozen and simmer until thawed.
