Recipe/meatballs

Originally from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Versatile recipe: oregano, basil, thyme for Italian food or cinnamon and mint for Greek food. Freezes well.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef ( we also use ground turkey)
  • 1/2-2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs ( can also use seasoned crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4-3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onions, chopped ( approx 1/4 c)
  • 1 eggs

Directions

  • Combine all ingredients and shape into 20-24 meatballs (1 to 1-1/2 inches each).
  • To oven bake: Place in ungreased 9x13 pan (you may want to line it with foil for easier clean-up).
  • Bake 20-25 min at 400 or until light brown and cooked through; turn meatballs halfway through, if desired, to help maintain a round shape.
  • To pan fry: Cook in skillet on medium heat, turning as needed, until brown (approx 20 min).

2011-07-05 -- Good. Added some spices, it really needs it (which is pretty obvious from the opening -- this is a base recipe, not a finished recipe). Also did way more Worcestershire. Served on egg noodles with a bit of shredded three cheese and a dab of sour cream.
