Meatballs



I love this recipe because, I can make a bunch of meatballs now and then freeze them for later.  These are great on a night when you have had a long day and don't feel much like cooking.  I add these to my favorite pasta sauce, just microwave till hot.  These are also great in meatball sandwiches.  These meatballs are so versatile, you could add them in soups.  The possibilities are endless.

Makes:  45-50 (depending on size)

Ingredients:  

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 t. dried oregano
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. fresh ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 to 1-1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 c. broth or water
1/2 yellow onion, minced
oil or cooking spray for baking sheets

Instruction:

Preheat an oven to 350 ∘F.  Combine meats and dry spices in a large bowl.  Add eggs, cheese, bread crumbs and onion.  Mix with hands adding broth or water a little at a time.  Make sure to mix well.  Work meat into golf ball sized balls and place on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.  Bake for 40-45 minutes till browned.
