Basic Meatballs
I have gathered a few different recipes and formed my own with them. Here are the meatballs I came up with that we just LOVE! (I usually make a big amount and freeze some and use only what I need in my dish! So this recipe is already doubled)
2 1/2 lbs. ground beef (You can use all pork or 1/2 beef and 1/2 pork too)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 box stuffing mix (has bread crumbs and seasonings all included!
2 Tbsp minced onion
3 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
Combine all ingredients and mix it together.. I use my hands, it’s easier to break up the meat and get it all mixed up well! Shape into 1 inch meatballs and place on a foil lined cookie sheet. Bake 7 minutes at 350*..If freezing..let cool freeze in a single layer, then you can transfer them to a freezer bag and put back in the freezer till you are ready for them!! If using immediately you can continue to cook them in the oven about another 5-8 minutes, or go ahead and add them to you dish..(ie..spaghetti sauce..they will continue to cook as your sauce cooks). We’ve eaten them on hoagie buns for meatball sandwiches, in spaghetti, in a gravy over rice, or just plain with a little barbecue sauce or ketchup, etc..the possibilities are endless and delicious! Let me know what you think of this recipe!

Sounds great! So, when you pull them out frozen to use them, you still need to cook them for a bit, right?
Yes! You can thaw them out a little and just drop them into whatever you are using them for..ie.spaghetti sauce. As you are cooking the sauce or warming the sauce, they will finish cooking through. You can also use all beef and then you don't have to worry about cooking them all the way through if you prefer.
