Freezer Meatballs
(Single batch makes approx. 8 dozen, double batch - in parentheses - makes approx. 16 dozen.)
Ingredients
Single Batch (Double Batch)
- 4 lbs. ground beef 8 lbs.
- 1 c. bread crumbs 2 c.
- 2 eggs 3
- 8 oz. tomato sauce 15 oz.
- 1/2 Tbsp. pepper 1 Tbsp.
- 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder 1 Tbsp.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly with your hands. Roll mixture into balls approximately 1" in diameter. (I think mine are usually a tad bigger than this.) Place on rimmed baking sheets. (A single batch will fill 2 jelly roll pans.) Bake for 20 minutes. Flash freeze*, then divide into bags and put in freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
*Flash freezing is freezing a food individually, or spread out, until solid, to prevent sticking. Once the food is solid, you can dump it together into freezer bags or containers.
