Meatballs for a Crowd - 2012
​​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Ron Wozny

Makes 100+ meatballs (about 2 oz. each) for spaghetti and meatballs

INGREDIENTS
  • 18 pounds ground beef
  • 16 eggs
  • 3 tablespoon black pepper 
  • 4 large onions, chopped very fine
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups Italian bread crumbs
  • 3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • About 4 to 6 cup water (enough to make soft mixture, don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture ​should be moist but not so that the meatballs fall apart.) 

​PREPARATION
Combine all ingredients. Wet hands and shape all into meatballs by hand about the size of a ping-pong ball (they will lose 1/3 their size after cooking). Bake in oven 1 hour at 325 degrees.

Depending on the size and how many made, add 2-3 meatballs and some sauce to each spaghetti serving.

We made these for our 2011 Blue & Gold banquet. I think it made more like 300 meatballs, but we may have made them smaller. Good recipe for feeding a large crowd, and we even had some requests for the recipe. I think the most fun, however, was making them with Kelli and Aaron Busby, Mr. Lee and Aunt Sherry while sipping a few glasses of vino!
