Meatballs for a Smaller Crowd - 2012
Recipe courtesy of Ron Wozny
Makes 25+ meatballs (about 2 oz. each) for spaghetti and meatballs
INGREDIENTS
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.
This is a scaled version of the recipe we made for our 2011 Blue & Gold banquet. 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!
- 4.5 pounds Ground beef
- 4 eggs
- 2 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 large onion, chopped very fine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- About 1 to 1 1/2 cups 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.)
