A straightforward recipe for making a big batch of homemade meatballs that can be frozen for easy future meals. These meatballs are baked and then recommended to be finished in tomato sauce to keep them moist and flavorful.
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onions, eggs, tomato paste, crushed garlic, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Mix well with your hands until everything is combined. (The author suggests wearing plastic gloves while doing this).
3. Form the mixture into balls that are a little bit bigger than a golf ball and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake on 400°F for 20 minutes.
5. Every oven is different, but usually after 20 minutes the meatballs will still be a little pink inside. The author recommends cooking them the rest of the way in tomato sauce to ensure they stay moist and soak up all the yummy flavor from the sauce!
