Time 40m

Yield 40 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
2 slices bacon, finely chopped (2 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon plain dried breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
coarse salt
pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, parsley, garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Shape mixture into 40 meatballs. (For equal-size meatballs, scoop out meat mixture with a teaspoon, using two scoops for each meatball. Then roll between your palms to shape into balls.).
  • Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or on two large plates. Freeze 1 hour. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag; label and date.
  • To use the meatballs straight from the freezer, preheat oven to 400°. Place meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Note: Frozen mini-meatballs can also be used in soup or sauce: Simmer meatballs, covered, in liquid until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

The meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

The meatballs were a little bland. I think I needed to add more seasoning to the mixture.

These meatballs were a little dry. I think I needed to add more moisture to the mixture.
