Italian Meatballs

So a while back, I posted that I was going to start testing recipes for this catering gig I had coming up in August.  Fast forward to August- didn't practice anything since.  So, I'm going to be baking up a storm these next two weeks, and I'll be posting the fruits of my labors, sans my lengthy stories.

Ok, maybe a few short sentences to document how this all went down.

So on Sunday I made over 200 meatballs.  Holy freaking cow- that was a lot of meatballs.  Thank goodness for the husband, who stepped up and help me roll these suckers out, or I might still be up in my kitchen up to my elbows in raw hamburger.

Yeah, if that mental image doesn't make you hungry, I don't know what will. 

So here's the recipe- SUPER simple and easy and darned delicious.


Italian Meatballs
Recipe from http://www.food.com/recipe/authentic-italian-meatballs-92095 
I made 10 recipes resulting in about 200 meatballs

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (I used 85% lean)
1 egg
1/4 cup milk (I used whole milk)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon oregano 
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 jar of Pasta Sauce 



Directions 
Preheat your oven to 350.

Mix all of your ingredients by hand in a large bowl until fully combined.  Roll one ounce sections into balls, and place on a cookie sheet (with sides) lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray.


Bake for about 20 min, or internal temperate reads 160.


Serve in a crock pot with sauce.
