Italian Meatballs
- Meatballs
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 1/2 ground pork
- 10 eggs
- 8 oz bread crumbs
- 8 oz Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 handfuls of dried parsley
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbs poultry seasoning (Bell's if possible)
- 2-2 1/2 tbs garlic powder
- Sauce
- 6 8 oz tomato sauce
- 2 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes
- 2 8 oz cans of tomato paste ( + one can of water per can of paste)
- 1 tsp EACH of garlic and onion powder and black pepper
- Mix all meatball ingredients together. They can sit for up to several hours in the fridge.
- Heat sauce contents gently to medium heat then start adding teaspoon sized meatballs. (you will likely need 2 large pots.)
- Once you're finished adding meatballs, heat through for probably 45-60 minutes at med-low heat.
- These meatballs freeze very well, in bags or plastic ware. Spinach (frozen or fresh) makes a really nice addition whether fresh or while you are reheating the meatballs.
- Will feed at least 10 at first sitting. It is definitely worth cooking for less and freezing in small or large containers for future events.
