Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 6 oz pkg chicken flavored stuffing mix
  • 1 1/4 cups of water
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees.

  • In a large bowl mix all the ingredients, I find by hand is best, until fully incorporated.

  • Shape the meat mixture into about 32, 1 1/2 inch, balls (about 1/4 cup meat per baland placing them in the prepared pans as you go.
  • Bake the meatballs for 16-18 minutes, or until completely cooked. No pink meat for us.
  • Remove from the oven and, if using immediately, add the meatballs into your recipe. Otherwise allow them to cool completely and follow freezing instructions.

Notes

  • Lining the tray with foil makes for an easy, no fuss clean up later! 
  • Make a double batch and freeze some for later to use in your favorite recipes!
  • You could use a large cookie scoop to help evenly scoop out the meatballs.
