Party Size Italian Meatballs
From midgelet 14 years agoIngredients
- 5 lb ground beef ( 70/30 or 80/20 meat/fat mix ), some fat is needed so you don't want an overly lean beef mix shopping list
- 2 cups dry unflavored bread crumbs, or if italian flavor then reduce other spices and herbs in recipe shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley chopped shopping list
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese or cheese mix like Romano, Parmesan and Asagio shopping list
- 1/4 cup tomato product ( ketsup,or tomato sauce,) shopping list
- 1 Tbs each: powdered garlic,( or use real garlic minced ! ) basil, or italian seasoning,salt shopping list
- 1 tsp black pepper shopping list
- 1 qt home made tomato or marinara sauce or favorite jarred tomato sauce, more if desired shopping list
How to make it
- In a very large bowl,mix all ingredients very well by hand
- Form into ping pong balls size with your hands as evenly and smooth as possible, for dinner meatballs shape into larger ones
- You may have 60 to 80 appetizer meatballs, less of the dinner size!
- Place meatballs on rack of broiler pan , evenly apart but not touching
- Bake 350F about 25 minutes or until well browned and fully cooked, for appetizer meatballs, large dinner size meatballs may take 30 minutes or more
- Place meatballs in a crock or container or aluminum roaster pan and cover with sauce and heat before serving.
- These can be frozen and then heated in sauce when thawed
- I make recipe a day before, and what I do is bring the meatballs to room temp, place in crockpot and use the low setting till nice and hot and then use the warm setting until serving.
- Also may be simply reheated in the oven, in a aluminum roaster pan covered with foil and heat 200F till hot
- Enjoy!
