10 lb Freezer Meatball Recipe
Ingredients
Add To Large Bowl
- 10 lb ground beef or 7lbs beef & 3lbs ground pork
Mix Together
- 6 eggs
- 1 ½ tsp pepper
- 3 tsp salt
- 5 tsp dried parsley
- 3 TBSP Worcestershire
- 1 ¼ tsp baking soda optional
Sprinkle Over Meat
- 3/4 cup flour or breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Remove packaging from meat and put in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, parsley, Worcestershire and baking soda.
- Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef in the large bowl. Then pour in the egg mixture and mix by hand until combined.
- Form into 1 ½ or 2 inch round balls and place on parchment lined baking sheets. I make double layers on my sheets to save space. Use a small cookie scoop to help save time. Cover the baking sheets with plastic wrap and freeze overnight or until hardened. Transfer the meatballs to freezer bags and store in the freezer for future use.
- When ready to use, remove from freezer and thaw on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for about 25-30 minutes or until internal temp is 160F.
Notes
*To bake meatballs, thaw them for 30-60 minutes. Then bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.
*You can bake from frozen just add about 10 minutes to your baking time and be sure to check the internal temperature.
*Make sure the temperature is 160F to ensure doneness. Honestly though a bit less than that is fine too if you’re not overly concerned about beef.
* The baking soda is optional but it does help the meatballs to retain moisture while baking.
