Ingredients

  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • dash of pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley (4 tablespoons dried parsley)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs (regular or Italian)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix all ingredients in large bowl until well incorporated.
  • Roll into balls (about 2 inches across) making sure the meatballs are about the same size so that they cook at the same rate. Place on a 9x13 pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and internal temperature is 160°F.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Freezer instructions: Bake as normal, then when cool, place in a freezer bag and freeze. When ready to serve, just defrost and then re-heat. If I’m simmering them in sauce, I just stick them in the crockpot frozen since my sauce will heat for several hours.
