Garlic Parmesan Meatballs
I believe in garlic Parmesan meatballs because they believe in me..... They allow me to feed my family in a variety of ways through spaghetti and meatballs, meatballs subs, meatball appetizers, etc. because they know I will treat them right in any of these dishes.
Servings 15 to 20 meatballs
Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground beef
- ½ pound ground sausage
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dry Italian Herbs seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1/8 cup Italian breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Roll the mixture into meatballs using 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture for each meatball.
- Lightly brush the meatballs with olive oil (this helps to lock in the juices of the meatballs, keeping your meatballs moist….).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the meatballs in a large deep baking pan and bake the meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
- Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
Notes
This is a great freezer food to make ahead of time. I make the meatballs then place them on a pan lined with freezer paper, and allow them to freeze for about an hour so that the shape of the meatballs are firm. Then I place them in an airtight freezer storage container. When ready to use, you can place them in the oven straight from the freezer to cook.
