Servings: 30 meatballs
Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 large onion finely chopped - I like to do this in the food processor!
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add all of the meatball ingredients and mix well using a wooden spatula or your hands.
- Line 2 baking sheets with foil or parchment paper.
- Form the meatball mixture into 2-3 tablespoon sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until no loner pink inside.
- Use immediately in spaghetti sauce, meatballs subs, etc. or freeze.
To freeze:
- Cool the meatballs on the baking sheets for about 15-20 minutes.
- Place the baking sheets in the freezer (or transfer the meatballs to a smaller baking dish or plate if the baking sheet doesn't fit in your freezer - just make sure they are not piled on each other). Freeze for 2 hours.
- Transfer the frozen meatballs to a freezer Ziploc container and store in the freezer until ready to use!
To Thaw:
- Place in refrigerator overnight to thaw and use in pasta, subs, etc. OR microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
