what you need
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup Kraft grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp. ketchup
- 8 saltine crackers, crushed
make it
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl mixing well. I find it best to use your hands for this.
Form the mixture into 1-2 inch balls.
Bake on a foil lined baking sheet at 375 for approximately 30 minutes turning half way through cooking time. Drain well.
Notes
I make batches of these meatballs and store them in the freezer to be used in many recipes. Some of my variations are listed below:
For a version of beef stroganoff I combine a can of beef broth and a can of cream of mushroom soup. Simmer until the meatballs are heated through, then add 1 cup of sour cream. Serve over egg noodles or rice.
Adding the meatballs to chicken broth, spinach and noodles creates a quick and tasty Italian Wedding Soup.
Baking the meatballs with a can of tomato soup and serving them with mashed potatoes and peas creates a quick and delicious substitute for meatloaf.
