Maw Maw's Meatballs and Spaghetti Gravy
Recipe By:
Ingredients
  • 5-8 lbs. of ground meat (if you prefer to mix half ground pork and beef, has a very nice flavor)
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 8 slices of whole wheat bread or any old bread you have (broken into pieces)
  • 1 (16-oz.) container chopped onion mix
  • 1 T. minced garlic
  • 1 T. black pepper
  • 1 T. salt
  • 1 T. garlic powder
  • 1 t. dried basil
  • 1 t. dried oregano
  • ¼-1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs
Instructions
  1. In large bowl, place cracked eggs. Whisk until blended.
  2. Add milk and bread slices. Take your hands and break up bread more and blend the mixture.
  3. Add the onions, garlic and seasonings. Mix well.
  4. Add the ground meat and fold with your hands until blended.
  5. Add the bread crumbs to make it hold together but not too dry.
  6. Form meatballs. You can fry them until golden brown in skillet or place on baking sheet sprayed with PAM and bake until golden brown. Drain them after cooking.
  7. If you are using right away, place into your marinara sauce and let simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Here, longer is better. After cooking meatballs, and if you are not using them right away, place in Ziploc bags and freeze. Thaw and place in your gravy and cook as shown above.
Notes
*****This will make about 7 dozen meatballs. I like to make a large batch and freeze. Just have to pop them in the gravy when needed.
