Steps:

  • To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer.

5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER MEATBALLS

A wonderful all-purpose meatball to use in a variety of recipes! Easy to make, and with ingredients usually on hand. The yield is based on 1-1/2" meatballs, but you can make them smaller. I get about forty-eight 1" meatballs out of this same recipe.

  • Combine all ingredients except beef.
  • Mix in beef well, and shape into meatballs.
  • Place all on single layer in pan.
  • Bake 20 minutes at 350.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels, and let cool 15 minutes.

1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup soft breadcrumbs (about 1 slice bread)

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (I prefer 90% lean or higher)

ALL PURPOSE FREEZER MEATBALLS

Having frozen dry meatballs is handier than pockets in a shirt. From subs to spaghetti/with they are another one of those things that make cooking well for one possible. This is a conglomeration of a number of recipes that seems to work.

Steps:

  • I mix the Panko ginger allspice salt and egg in a small bowl.
  • Ginger, allspice, and Molasses MAY and likely SHOULD be increased Run it all, with the beef, through the FINE die on your food grinder.
  • If you do not have a grinder, purchase the beef fine grind, at least twice through the grinder.
  • And chop the onion fine in your food processor.
  • I'm looking here for a very dense end product.
  • Mix well by hand.
  • Form into no-larger-than-pingpong ball size.
  • Roll lightly in that excess Panko or bread crumbs I forgot to tell you to put in a plate.
  • Place on a grill rack, Hopefully fine grate enough so they don't fall through.
  • Oven at 400 (preheat).
  • Bake about 20 min OR until that instant thermometer reads 145+.
  • Let them cool completely and put what you're not going to use now in a freezer bag.
  • That extra roll in Panko keeps them loose in the bag.
  • For use?
  • Put the balls and some (jarred) pasta sauce, gravy, whatever you fancy in the microwave to heat.
  • Place in/on bun, spaghetti, hash browned or mashed potatoes, rice, or whatever the spirit moves you to.
  • It's a handy meal-in-a-hurry.
  • Enjoy and let me know any other uses you can find.

  • Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using your hands (you can use gloves), combine everything together until just mixed. Cover and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F if cooking in the oven. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Use a 2 tablespoon volume cookie scoop to form the meatballs and place the amount you want to cook directly on the sheet pan, about one inch apart (I usually cook half and freeze half). If you use a smaller scooper, reduce cooking time by a couple minutes.
  • Place fresh meatballs into the oven and cook for 20-23 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
  • Place fresh meatballs into the air fryer basket in a single layer, not touching each other. Air fry for 9-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
