A slight change from Martha's Meat Balls
Ingredients
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork (Substitute for ground turkey as well)
2 slices bacon (2 ounces), finely chopped (Substitute for Turkey bacon as well)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon plain dried breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
1.In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, parsley, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Shape mixture into 40 meatballs. (For equal-size meatballs, scoop out meat mixture with a teaspoon, using two scoops for each meatball. Then roll between your palms to shape into balls. I use my two teaspoon cookie scoop)
2.Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or on two large plates. Freeze 1 hour. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag; label and date.
3.To use the meatballs straight from the freezer, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Makes 40
