Make Ahead (Or Right Now) Meatballs

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (or combo of beef and ground sausage)
2 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 onion, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon salt

Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.

Using a cooking scoop or spoon, shape approximately 28 golf ball-sized meatballs and place in a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove from oven.  

Use immediately or prepare the meatballs for freezing by moving them to a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Place in a single layer and without touching.  Place in freezer for 1-2 hours or until frozen.  Store frozen meatballs in a zippered bag with most of the air removed.  Make sure to write the "made on" date on the bag.  Store in freezer for no longer than 6 months.
