Delicious Meatballs

Foodnetwork

Lily made these with spaghetti sauce, noodles for sunday dinner. Everything turned out delicious!!! Everyone loved it!!!

Dbl    Original- makes 30-50 meatballs
4        1 lb ground beef
1- 2    1 lb sausage (one time I used ground turkey)
1- 2    1 thinly chopped onion (sauteed)
5       cloves (or 1 T minced garlic (sauteed)
3        1 tablespoons mustard
3        1 t Worcestershire
3        1 teaspoon salt
1        1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4         2 large eggs
1- 2      1/4-/12 cup grated Parmigiano (one time I didn't have and they still turned out great)
5         2 T parsley leaves
2         1 cup breadcrumbs (cheese it crackers, old crusty rolls and some croutons, saltines, crushed up tortilla chips)
             One time I needed to make it gluten free, so i used (2T flax, 2 T cornmeal and 1/2c quinoa)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place them on a GREASED cookie sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then flip the meatballs to the opposite side to brown for 8 more min.

They are delicious!!!!  I Made 50 meatballs. I cooked all of them and we'll freeze half of them for a future dinner. For about a family of 5 we eat about 10-14 meatballs at each meal.  So there ends up being enough meatballs for 3-4 dinners for the month.



OR 
Cook the meatballs with the sauce inside of crockpot for 4-6 hours on low. I first oil the inside of the crockpot, then pour in sauce and place the meatballs inside. SOOoooooo easy!!!

I made the double version and froze the raw meatballs and put into ziplock bags.

5/3/13 Next time I could just add one more pound of sausage or beef to have a little extra/


2/21/19. 9/6/20 I added all these ingredients to the doubled version- Used the doubled version, Loved it again, even with the gluten free options. I actually tasted the raw meat mixture to make sure I liked the flavor. I could tell it needed more of everything- so I just put some amounts of (1t mustard, 1 t Worcestershire, 1/2t salt, pepper, 1 T parsley, garlic. After adding more of everything the raw meat tasted and smelled better.
