The Best Homemade Meatballs image

I got this recipe from Family Fun Magazine some time ago. I make them often because I freeze the extra and use later in various other recipes. Most recently I found a recipe here called "Lotsa Veggies Meatball Soup" and used them with that recipe and it turned out amazing. They can be served with pasta dishes or with bar-b-que sauce over them as an appetizer. I hope you enjoy them and I wouild love to hear feedback!!!

Time 1h

Yield 100 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb ground pork
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400. Coat 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well incorporated. Try not to overmix.
  • Pinch off a teaspoon or so of the meat mixture and gently roll it into a 1-inch ball. Repeat, arranging the balls 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake the meatballs until lightly browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • *Eat 'em right away: Toss warm meatballs with your favorite bar-b-que sauce and serve them on toasted sandwich rolls with a side of coleslaw or as an appetizer.
  • *Freeze 'em for later: Arrange cooled meatballs evely spaced on a baking sheet and freeze them for 20 minutes. Transfer them to ziplok freezer bags and store them for up to three months.
