Ingredients
  • 1/4 tsp pepper .
  • 1 lb lean ground beef .
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional) .
  • 1/2 c finely sliced onions .
  • 1 egg .
  • 1/4 c Italian seasoned breadcrumbs .
  • 1/4 c ketchup .
  • 1/2 lb bulk Italian sausages

Directions
  • Step #1 Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Step #2 Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil wrap (heavy-duty is best); spray foil wrap with non-stick spray.
  • Step #3 Beat egg In a large-ish bowl, mix in all remaining ingredients (hands work best; I wear latex gloves).
  • Step #4 Shape the beef mixture into an 8-inch square on the foil wrap-lined pan & cut into 36 squares; do not separate squares.
  • Step #5 (I recommend using a pizza wheel or metal dough scraper to cut the squares - you are less likely to cut through the foil wrap & mar the pan.
  • Step #6 ).
  • Step #7 Bake at 425F F for 20 to 25 mins or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked & no longer pink in center.
  • Step #8 Cut apart meatballs (again I prefer to use a pizza wheel or metal dough scraper).
  • Step #9 Use as needed in any recipe calling for meatballs.
  • Step #10 Freezing Tip: Freeze meatballs individually first, then separate into recipe-sized portions & place this in freezer containers or freezer bags; Use within 2 months.
