Instructions

Baked Meatballs

• Stir together beef, pork, onion, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and egg in a large bowl just until combined — don’t overmix.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Shape meat into 1-1.5″ balls and place 1″ apart on baking sheet. (I get about 35 1.5″ meatballs)
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
• Set aside to cool slightly. (*At this point, once cooled, you can freeze up to 3 months for a variety of uses).

• Cook on low until heated through and sauce has thickened — about 4-5 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
• Serve with sauce over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
