3 LB moderately lean ground beef (97% lean makes tough meatballs)
\n1\u00bd C bread crumbs (plain or seasoned)
\n1\u00bd TSP salt
\n\u00bc TSP pepper
\n1 egg (optional)
\nMilk<\/p>\n
Temperature:<\/strong> 350<\/p>\n Mix the meat, bread crumbs and seasonings. If using the egg, beat it slightly with \u00bc C milk or use only milk without the egg. Mix the egg into the meat\/crumb combination using your hands to knead the ingredients, adding milk as needed to soften. Knead until the mixture is uniform and holds together. Roll into 1″ balls. Bake on a shallow-edged pan until browned (~20 minutes). Add to the prepared sauce (tomato or brown gravy) and allow to cook for 1 hour longer. <\/p>\n Note:<\/b> If the meatballs are the only meat in sauce add beef bouillon (cubed, liquid or powdered) for more flavor. Never use raw meatballs, bake or fry them first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 3 LB moderately lean ground beef (97% lean makes tough meatballs) 1\u00bd C bread crumbs (plain or seasoned) 1\u00bd TSP salt \u00bc TSP pepper 1 egg (optional) Milk Temperature: 350 Mix the meat, bread crumbs and seasonings.
