Description

This recipe yields a large batch of savory, tender meatballs that are perfect for meal prepping. Made with lean ground beef, fresh onions, and a hint of Worcestershire sauce, these meatballs offer a robust, savory flavor profile. The addition of cornstarch and eggs ensures they stay juicy and hold their shape perfectly during baking. Whether you plan to toss them in marinara, add them to soup, or serve them as an appetizer, this mix is incredibly versatile. They freeze beautifully, making them a staple for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (205ðC) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, dry bread crumbs, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, finely chopped onion, cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
  4. Roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch balls.
  5. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not touching each other.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned on the outside and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oven and transfer the meatballs to paper towels to drain any excess grease.
  8. Allow the meatballs to cool completely to room temperature.
  9. Pack approximately 30 meatballs into each of five 1-quart freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  10. Seal the containers tightly, label them with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months.
