Marvelous Meatballs

Meatballs are delicious. Get ready to get your hands a little dirty. I make a ton and freeze them so come exam time, I pop them in some sauce and heat 'em up!

What you'll need

Mixing bowl
1/2 C measuring cup
Cookie sheet

Ingredients (should make about 30)

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
3/4 lb. ground pork
3/4 lb. ground turkey
2 eggs
1 C bread crumbs
2 tbsp italian seasoning
2 pinches salt
2 tbsp parsley
1/4 C milk
2 C finely chopped green pepper
1 medium onion finely chopped
olive oil cooking spray


How to:



Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

1. Put all of the ground meat in to the mixing bowl. Mix these together with your hands.

2. Add the bread crumbs, parsley, salt and italian seasoning. Mix all of these together with your hands.

3. Add the eggs (these hold the meatballs together). Then add the milk (gives the meatball rich flavor).

4. These now may be too wet. If you touch the mixture and it drips or leaves a residue in your hands, add some more bread crumbs (do it in 1/4C increments).

5. Add the peppers and onions next and make sure these are incorporated well with everything else.


6. Olive-oil spray the cookie sheets and begin forming the meat-mixture in to normal meatball-sized balls.

7. Space these out with 3 inches between each. Fit as many as you can.


8. Put these in the oven and let these cook for 30-40 minutes. They should appear brown on top and some fat should have seeped out.

9. Keep up this process until all of the meatballs are cooked.

10. Freeze what you'd like and eat what you want!
