Freezer Meatballs

Yes, a recipe for meatballs. I know you probably throw them together like I often do - some ground beef, some seasoned breadcrumbs from the store and a tad bit of milk, and I've got enough to make dinner. There's a lot of things you can do with meatballs besides just spaghetti. So this recipe makes a whole lot of meatballs. Put them in the freezer and then you can just whip them out and make - Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Sorry. This ia starter recipe. To follow will be other recipes of things you can do with meatballs - these meatballs, which you make up and then freeze in packages of 24.

Freezer Meatballs:
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 cups soft breadcrumbs ( from 4 slices bread)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 pounds ground beef  The ground beef can be partially replaced with other ground meats such as chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, venison. Don't replace all of it, because its too lean the texture and flavor change.

In large bowl, beat eggs and then add alll but the meat. Once that has been throughly combined, mix in the ground meat.  Then chill it until cold, usually an hour is plenty of time.

With wet hands,  shape mixture into 6 dozen 1 inch meatballs. Bake meatballs in a couple of baking dishes at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or so. spread meatballs on a sheet pan, put into the freezer just til frozen. Then take frozen meatballs and package into three 24 meatball containers.

Meatball Rolls
Take a container of Freezer meatballs, and add a jar of your favorite spagetti sauce. Simmer that until heated through.In a small skillet, take a whole green pepper, cut it in strips, and fry in butter with a medium onion until tender. For each roll, put four meatballs on the bottom, add some onions and pepper and then spoon more of the spaghetti sauce over the roll. Top off with a tad bit of Parmesan cheese and you're all set to eat.
