Bindy's Bland Meatballs

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (about 4 slices of bread)
• 3 -4 eggs
• 1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 cup milk
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 crumble the beef into a large bowl.
• 2 mix in the grated parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• 3 mix in eggs, one at a time. if your eggs are jumbo, you probably only need 3 eggs. if they are smaller, you'll want 4 eggs.
• 4 add about 1/4 cup milk to help moisture. use a little more or less as needed. you want the meat to be able to stick together when you form balls, but it shouldn't be so wet it is mushy.
• 5 lightly grease 2 9*12 baking dishes.
• 6 form meat mixture into balls. as mentioned in my intro, i use a medium size cookie scoop, so that i have uniform size. if you use a scoop, make sure to press the meat in tightly. you don't want a loosely packed meatball, or it will fall apart.
• 7 bake the meatballs at 375 f for 15 minutes. turn the meatballs (i use a fork), and then bake for another 15 minutes.
• 8 to further reduce any latent grease, i put them on absorbent paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
