Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 1/2 cup powdered Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons dried parsley
- 4 whole fresh garlic cloves - pressed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- If you have a stand mixer to use it makes this recipe so much easier. If not use a large bowl.
- Put all ingredients in large bowl. If using a mixer, use the paddle attachment. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Get large frying pan and put in about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the bottom. Set to medium heat.
- Once the meat is well mixed take small amount, about the size of a ping pong ball and roll into a ball and put into the pan. Roll the remaining into meatballs and place in pan.
- When cooking them, I prefer to fully cook them until they are well browned on all sides about 15 minutes.
- Once cooked make sure they have no pink remaining and are cooked through.
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Place all the cooked meatballs on the baking sheet and place in the freezer for minimum 6 hours.
- Once frozen, remove the meatballs from the pans and place in ziploc bags in whatever quantity that will suit your family meals.

Notes
