My grandmother's/mother's Italian Meatball recipe....
2lbs. ground meat (beef/veal/pork/chicken/turkey) - any combination but use at least 1/2 red meat
2 eggs
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 cup dried parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Slightly beat the eggs & mix with ground meat. Combine the dry ingredients, then mix them thoroughly into the meat mixture. Shape into balls using approximately 1/4 cup mixture for each ball. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Yield approximately 18 meatballs.

Those are more a cocktail meatball, and they are eaten with a toothpick... Tasty, I might add.

just like I said "NOT ITALIAN".

I use my Kitchen Aid mixer to combine a meatball mixture. 3# meat - maximum. Then I form meatballs on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze several hours until firm, then store in plastic bag. I take out what I need, top with a mixture of ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and bake. I call them my "Lifesavers" since they are so handy for a meal. Of course, don't use the wire whip beater.
