Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef, I use 80/20
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt, seasoning salt or garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets (baking pans will work if you don't have rimmed cookie sheets) with foil and set aside.
- Place all ingredients into a large bowl and gently mix with your hands, careful not to overmix. Just squish it all together a few times to combine.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, divide the meat mixture into desired-size meatballs. As long as they are uniform, they can be as large or small as you like.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, depending on the size. Be sure to check for doneness. Serve hot with your favorite sauce.
Notes
Crockpot Instructions. Add the raw meatballs directly to the crock pot. Add your sauce or soup of choice and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-6 hours.
If you're worried about them falling apart, brown them first. Add a little olive oil to a skillet and brown each ball to form a thin crust.
- If you're worried about them falling apart, brown them first. Add a little olive oil to a skillet and brown each ball to form a thin crust.
- To freeze. Allow meatballs to cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cool, scrape the fat away from the meatballs and seal tightly in a freezer safe bag or air tight container and place in the freezer.
- From frozen. When you're ready to use them, defrost them in your fridge, or put the frozen meatballs right into a soup or sauce. *Note, for cream based sauces, defrost the meatballs completely before adding.
