Homemade Meatballs

It's Super Bowl Sunday, so that means it's a good day to eat lots of party foods and snacks! A favourite party food in this house is crockpot meatballs. Here's a good recipe for meatballs that you can bake and serve as is, bake and freeze, or bake and then transfer to your slow cooker and simmer for a few hours with your favourite BBQ sauce. These are great as a party meatball OR pair well with pasta and sauce. Enjoy!

Homemade Meatballs
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef (or turkey. Today I actually used Ground Round, which is super lean beef)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parm cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp season salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and gently combine using your hands. Once evenly combined, roll into 48-52 small balls (about 1" diam). Place meatballs on parchment.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until browned and thoroughly cooked. Remove from oven and serve. Or cool and freeze. Or transfer to crockpot. ENJOY!
