The Best Meatballs Recipe

	10gallonhat / All my dishes 2 years, 11 months ago These meatballs, from one of my favorite sources, EatingWell Magazine, are some of the best I have ever had. I was initially turned off by the Meat/Wheat ratio - but they turned out sooo good. And good for you too. Use these anywhere you would have ... More Prep:15m Cook:25m Servings:24	10gallonhat

Ingredients

1/3 cup bulgur

1/2 cup hot water

4 ounces lean ground beef

4 ounces hot Italian sausage

1 medium onion, very finely chopped

2 large egg whites, lightly beaten

3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 cup fresh breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Tip)

Directions

Combine bulgur and water in a small bowl. Let stand until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat a rack with cooking spray and place it over a baking sheet lined with foil.

Combine ground beef, sausage, onion, egg whites, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs and the soaked bulgur in a large bowl; mix well. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 24). Place the meatballs on the rack and bake for 25 minutes. Blot well with paper towel.

Fresh Breadcrumbs:
To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3 cup.

I've never made a really good meatball, and I can't eat the commercial frozen ones. This is a welcome find! Thanks.

I have never found a decent "commercial frozen" meatball! I can't eat them either. This looks good!

Make these ahead of time and freeze. Thaw them in your favorite soup or sauce for 10 minutes or until heated through!
