Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
-
1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild, casings removed)
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
1/2 cup marinara sauce
-
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
2 teaspoons dried basil
-
1 teaspoon garlic salt
-
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
-
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon minced dried onion
-
1 1/4 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray with cooking spray.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well with your hands.
- Using a scale, weigh out 1.5oz portions of meat and form into meatballs.
- Place meatballs on the wire rack.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. If you make larger or smaller meatballs than the 1.5oz suggested, you will need to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- These freeze very well! To reheat, take the desired portion from the freezer and drop into a saucepan of your favorite pasta sauce, then simmer until heated through.
