Ingredients
- 4 eggs beat lightly
- 2 cups breadcrumbs I prefer Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 pounds ground venison or ground beef This is also good using a mix of ground pork and ground beef.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, break up ground meat.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. I find it easiest to mix using my hands.
- Shape into meatballs. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop makes about a 1" meatball.
- Two options to cook the meatballs
- Brown in a frying pan on the stovetop until browned on all sides OR bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes until no longer pink.
Freezing Instructions
- Meatballs can be frozen cooked or raw.
- To freeze meatballs, freeze in a single layer on a tray. Once frozen solid transfer to an air tight contianer.
- For best results partially defrost meatballs in the refrigerator prior to cooking.
- Meatballs that are frozen cooked need only be heated through. Preheat oven to 350℉ and heat through or heat in a skillet turning frequently.
- Meatballs frozen raw need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°. Using cooking instructions above.
