Dawn’s Homemade Meatballs

Leave a comment

Dawn Sutter borrowed this recipe from MaryJo Klusmire once upon a time…

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 T. parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 C. bread crumbs – Italian are good
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

Directions

Mix all ingredients together.  Shape into about 20 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs.  Bake at 350 degrees about 8-10 min. on one side and then turn over and bake on other side until done.  I use a broiling pan, so they aren’t sitting in the grease drippings.

Either could be served with spaghetti and sauce or we like to make meatball sandwiches with spaghetti sauce and cheese on top.
