Baked Beef And Pork Meatballs

Whenever I try a new recipe, I’m totally guilty of never following the recipe word for word. I change some ingredients, use what I have on hand or just substitute something I like better. This meatball recipe was no different. When it called for two pounds of ground beef, I decided to use a pound of beef and a pound of ground pork, mixing them together to make a tastier combination.

This is the best recipe for freezing meals for later. Let the meatballs cool to room temperature, then fill up a freezer bag or container. When you need them, just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

2 eggs

2 cups (1 bag) shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup heavy cream

2-3 Tbsp Italian seasoning (to taste)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

2. Using your hands, thoroughly mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 

3. Roll mixture into balls about the size of golf balls and line up in baking dish.

4. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. The meat will create its own gravy, and the tops of each meatball will be brown and crusty.
