Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs garlic-seasoned
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon onion dried and minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. There are two ways that you can make this. First, preheat oven to 350° F. Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix until thoroughly blended. Form into meatballs, doesn't matter the size and place on cookie sheet or in a shallow baking dish. I prefer a 10x10 baking dish and let them bake for 12 minutes. Once they are baked, I like to take them out and add them to the sauce to finish.
  2. The second way I like to make them is get my pot of sauce ready and cooking. I combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs and shape them into meatballs. I drop them right into the sauce and let them simmer in the sauce for about 30 minutes with the lid on and the heat on low. They come out perfect!

    Notes

    Meatballs are a great meal that can be made ahead and frozen for future dinners. You can double this recipe, and vacuum seal in dinner size proportions and when ready to use, thaw and place right in your sauce!You can also prepare these meatballs as appetizers. Stick a toothpick in each meatball for easy serving and serve with a side of gravy or tomato sauce.
    Enjoy!
