In honor of TODAY, being National Meatball Day, here’s Mom’s secret recipe for…
FREEZER MEATBALLS
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Gloria Pitzer’s Secret Recipes Newsletter (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; Sep.-Oct. 1987, p. 5). As always, I’m asking only for proper credit if you care to re-share it.
INGREDIENTS:
3 beaten eggs
¾ cup milk
3 cups soft bread crumbs
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 tsp salt
3-lbs ground beef
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine eggs and milk – stir in bread crumbs, onion, and salt. Add ground beef [and] mix well. Shape into [72] 1-inch meatballs. Bake meatballs, HALF at a time, in large shallow baking pan, in 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from pan [and] cool. [Repeat baking process for other half.]
Arrange cooled meatballs in single layer on baking sheet so edges do not touch. Freeze [like this] until firm. Using 24 meatballs per package, wrap meatballs in moisture-vapor proof freezer bags. Seal, label, and freeze [up to 6 months]. Makes 72 [meatballs, or 3 packages of 24 each].
