Beef Meatballs


Because these meatballs are baked all at once in the oven, they are a snap to put together. Whip up a double batch and save some in the freezer for a really quick and easy meal.

1 1/2 pounds ground round
1/4 cup finely shredded fresh Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine all ingredients except cooking spray in a bowl; stir well. Shape mixture into 30 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until done.

Yield: 30 meatballs (serving size: 5 meatballs)

    Meatballs that are baked -- got to love that. I don't have a broiler pan -- time to pull out the sheet pan (I'm thinking that would work ok?).

  2. I've not tried a baking sheet, but it's worth a shot. :)
