#33_How to Make Meatballs

No-fuss-no-mess Meat balls

Eliminate the greasy part of making meatballs by baking them in the oven
instead of browning them in oil.

Really easy to do, just combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together

To make uniform size meatballs, pat the mixture into a one-inch thick rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch squares. Gently roll each square into balls.

Arrange meatballs in an aluminum-lined sheet pan for easy clean up

Here's the ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef

1 lb. ground pork

1 cup bread crumbs or oatmeal (see notes)

1 medium onion, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 eggs, slightly beaten

salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. Mrs Dash

Mix all ingredients together, form into balls and onto a baking sheet; bake it in a pre-heated 350 degrees oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

NOTES from MaMely:

1. You can make different dishes using meatballs such as, Swedish Meatball Casserole, Spaghetti with Meatballs, Meatballs with Cream Sauce, Sweet and Sour Meatballs or Meatball Sandwiches, to name a few. I will post some of these recipes when I make them in the near future.
2. Instead of bread crumbs, I use saltine crackers or oatmeal or both. I put them in a food processor and grind them. I also put the onion and garlic together in food processor to finely chop them.
