Homemade frozen meatballs is one of my favorite meal prep recipes. It's a large batch recipe that freezes easily and is great to have on hand for quick weeknight meals or as an appetizer to feed a crowd.
Add garlic and parsley. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent and garlic is cooked.
3 cloves garlic, 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush two sheet pans with vegetable oil. Make sure they're well coated. Set aside.
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Place ground beef and ground pork in a large bowl.
2 lbs ground beef, 1 lb ground pork
Add all remaining ingredients, including the mixture from skillet.
1 ½ cups bread crumbs, 3 eggs, 2 Tbsp milk, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp salt
Stir to combine everything together in the bowl or combine using your clean hands. Stop as soon as all ingredients are incorporated to avoid the meatballs getting tough.
Take a small amount of the meat mixture and roll it into 2” balls. (Feel free to make them smaller if using for appetizers.)
Place meatball on one of the greased pans.
Continue doing this - place so the meatballs are tight together but not touching - until all of the meat mixture is used up.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 mins. (20-25 mins for smaller meatballs.)
Remove meatballs from oven and allow to cool.
Enjoy!
Notes
To freeze meatballs: Once meatballs have cooled completely, remove from pan and placed on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and place in the freezer overnight. Remove from freezer. Place frozen meatballs into a large, zip-top bag. Store in your freezer until ready to use. Meatballs will keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
