Mini Meatballs (doubled the original recipe)
*** Note- this recipe is enough to serve 5 families***
Source: Freeze Happy
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15-25 minutes
Yield: 180 meatballs
Cook Time: 15-25 minutes
Yield: 180 meatballs
Ingredients:
2 large onions, grated
3 cups fresh grated parmesan
18 tsp minced garlic
6 tsp salt
6 large eggs
2 tsp ground black pepper
1.5 cups Italian style bread crumbs
6 lbs ground meat (3 lbs ground beef, 3 lbs ground turkey)
½ c ketchup
1.5 cups chopped fresh parsley
Approx 6 tsp dried basil
To Prepare
-Add the onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, ketchup, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper to a large bowl and blend. Mix in the turkey and ground beef...making sure to NOT over mix. Working the meat too much will make it tough.
-Add the onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, ketchup, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper to a large bowl and blend. Mix in the turkey and ground beef...making sure to NOT over mix. Working the meat too much will make it tough.
- Shape the turkey mixture into 1 inch-diameter meatballs. Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place meatballs on baking sheet, Flash Freeze. Put meatballs in freezer bags until ready to serve.
To Serve:
Bake meatballs on Teflon (dark) cookie sheet at 400* for 15-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160*F. If you like them a bit more browned than they turn out, just stick them under a low broiler until desired brown crust is added (yummm....my favorite part).
You can use these meatballs in so many different dishes. We served ours with a bottle of marinara sauce over rice, with a green salad. A meatball sub on a hoagie with marinara and melted provolone would be to die for. These are hands down the best meat balls I have ever had. I LOVE this recipe.
Note: Do not overcrowd the meatballs on the pan...I get 4 rows across and 6 down on a standard rimmed baking sheet. You can bake two sheets at once, but switch racks halfway through cooking time.
- Store in ziplock bag in freezer for up to 1 year.

You can do it! And Brett (photogs?)
ReplyDeleteooh, these were soo good! And yes, I pulled them right out of the freezer and cooked them at the same temp for the same time with the same results. I just turned on the broiler for a minute or two to get them nice and brown on top. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a big load to get done! I wish I could come help you. If I can talk Paul into letting me come for a few hours (maybe tonight) I would love to. :)
The meatballs sound amazing but I'm allergic to eggs. Could you recommend a substitute that I could use instead of eggs for the meatballs.
