Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 large onion, chopped finely
- 4 slices day old bread, crumbled
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon each salt, pepper and garlic powder, or to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and combine well with your very clean hands. Form into 1-inch balls, place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 F about 45 minutes. Drain off fat and allow to cool. Put into freezer on trays until frozen and then transfer to zip-lock bags.
Here are some quick and easy ways to use your frozen meatballs:
For noodles and meatballs: In a large sauce pan, mix together 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 package dry onion soup mix and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, add 18-24 meatballs and continue to simmer until meatballs are heated through. Serve over egg noodles; makes six servings.
For spaghetti and meatballs: Heat your favorite spaghetti sauce in a large pan. Add meatballs and allow to thoroughly heat through. Serve over spaghetti noodles.
Make meatball soup the same way you’d make stew: meat or vegetable stock, onion, carrots, celery, tomatoes, pasta or potatoes or whatever you like. Add meatballs at the end and heat through.
