How to Make Hints For Making Large Quantities Of Meatballs

  1. Choose your favorite meatball recipe (see ingredient section for a sample).
  2. Decide on your desired meatball size (e.g., 1-inch, 1.5-inch).
  3. Calculate the number of meatballs per pound based on your chosen size (e.g., 20 small meatballs per pound, 10 large meatballs per pound).
  4. Prepare your meatball mixture in 5-pound batches. Ensure ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Refrigerate the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each 5-pound batch of chilled meatball mixture into a large, even rectangle (approximately ½ inch thick).
  7. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the rectangle into even squares. The number of squares will depend on your desired meatball size and the calculation from step 3.
  8. Gently roll each square into a ball.
  9. Place meatballs onto greased baking sheets, leaving some space between each for even cooking.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and browned.
  11. Let the meatballs cool completely before transferring them to gallon-sized freezer bags. Freeze for up to one month.
  12. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
