Meatball Recipe

At least once a month I go to my local butcher and stock up on some lean ground beef to make numerous make-ahead meals such as these delicious meatballs.

What you'll need:

4 lbs Lean ground beef
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup Finely chopped onion
2 cups Dry bread crumbs (or in my case crushed crackers as I didn't have any bread crumbs)
4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
*4 large eggs

*I forgot this item but the meatballs still turned out great! Forgetful Grandma for the win!



Preheat oven to 425 degrees Celsuis. Combine all ingredients in one big bowl. Stir until well blended. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Arrange on greased or lined with parchment paper baking sheet. Bake at 425 C oven for 15 to 16 minutes until no pink remains. Drain. Cool meatballs and place into freezer bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Makes about 8 dozen (96) meatballs. Easy peasy!

Sorry for the fuzzy picture.

Yummers! 

I love to use these meatballs for quick and easy spaghetti or meatball sub sandwiches.  

Grandma Note: This is also my baseline recipe (without eggs) for hamburger patties. Just form meat into patties. Fry on medium heat in large fry pan both sides until browned. Cool and place in freezer bag. Freezes up to 3 months. That way you'll always have homemade hamburger patties on those days you just don't know what you make! They also are delicious when used as meat in beef stroganoff recipes.
