Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloved garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil. Set aside.
  • Place all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands until fully combined.
  • Form into balls. I used this cookie scoop. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and place in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until they are brown. Remove from the oven, and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow to cool.
  • Place in a freezer bag and try to remove as much air as possible. (I place a straw in the bag and close it until only the straw is sticking out of the small hole. Suck the air out. It now looks vacuum sealed!)
  • When ready to use, defrost in the refrigerator in the morning and they should be defrosted for dinner. Alternatively, you can throw the frozen meatballs into a sauce, and allow to simmer for around 20 minutes.
