Italian Style Meatballs

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef
• 1/2 lb Italian sausage
• 3 eggs
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups soft breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon oil (for browning meatballs)

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients and knead together. Shape into 36-1" balls.

2. 2

   Using a large fry pan over medium heat, brown meatballs equally on each side, about 7-8 minutes.

3. 3

   Add to an already prepared large pot of spaghetti sauce and cook on a low simmer for 30-40 minutes. Test for doneness.

4. 4

   If freezing a large amount, skip the last step of adding them to the sauce, and instead, bake them on a large baking sheet in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes, spaced 1/2" apart. Let cool. Drain any visible grease, cover with foil and flash freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. After frozen, you can then place the meatballs in a Ziploc freezer bag to store in your freezer for up to 2 months.
