Ingredients for All Purpose Freezer Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Yellow Onion
  • Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Powdered Ginger
  • Allspice
  • Molasses
  • 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make All Purpose Freezer Meatballs

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Transfer the frozen meatballs to a large oven-safe skillet. Add tomato sauce (or your preferred sauce) and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
  6. Cover the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, in subs, or as part of a hearty soup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
