Home Made Meatballs

I like to make larger batches of meatballs to have on hand for a quick meal, they freeze really well.

What you will need:
1-Large Baking Sheet lined with Aluminum Foil, this if for easy clean up.
1-Medium Size Ice Cream Scoop *Optional*
1-Large Bowl
Measuring Spoons
1-Measuring Cup
1-Large Wooden Spoon *Optional*

Preheat your oven to 375-Degrees Fahrenheit

**Makes about 36-Meatballs**

Ingredients:
1-Large Egg
1-Medium Yellow Onion Peeled and Chopped
1 1/2 Pounds Lean Ground Beef 85%
3/4-Cups Panko Bread Crumbs. *Regular Bread Crumbs are fine.*
1-Teaspoon Dried Basil
1-Tablespoon Granulated Garlic
1-Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese Grated
1-Teaspoon Dried Parsley
3/4-Teaspoon Sea Salt *Regular is fine.*
1/2-Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
1/2-Cup Whole Milk


Add all of the above ingredients into your large bowl.  Mix all of the ingredients together until well blended, using your hands works best or use a large wooden spoon which ever you prefer is fine.

Place your lined baking sheet in front of you so you can now start placing the meat mixture onto the tray. Take your ice cream scoop, scoop out the meat mixture.  Squeeze and release the scoop's handle and drop the mixture into your hands.   Roll the meat mixture to form little balls. Place the meat balls onto the lined baking sheet, repeat until you have used up all of the meat mixture.

Place the baking sheet with the meatballs in to your preheated oven and bake uncovered for 45-minutes or until light brown. Make sure that they are thoroughly cooked through by checking one, opening it up, you don't want to see any pink coloring. Once baked, place your baking sheet on to a heat resistant surface and serve.

I used mine for Meatball Grinders, they are also known as Subs, Submarines, Hoagies, etc.,. depending on what area of my country that you reside at.  What you don't use can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for several days or frozen in a Zip Lock Freezer Storage Bag, or a Freezer Safe Container for several months.  I divide the meatballs into individual freezer bags, it's easier that way.  I will post the Meatball Grinder recipe on another page.
