Ingredients
1LbGround Beefyou can also use ground turkey or chicken
1cupseasoned Stuffing Mix or bread crumbs
1Egg
½Onion - small diced
1 ½tspGarlic Salt
1 ½tspItalian Seasoning
1TBSPminced Garlic
PinchSalt and Pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Using your hands crumble the seasoned stuffing cubes so that break up into smaller - bread crumb size pieces. I love using already seasoned stuffing because it's just a fun way to get a little more seasoning into the meatball.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
If you're wearing rings, take them off and put them somewhere safe - away from the kitchen sink, you don't want them to accidentally fall down the drain. Using your hands, make sure to combine all of the ingredients evenly. I usually will squeeze the ingredients into the ground beef. I know it sounds gross but it's the most efficient way to get this job done.
Using a scoop if you have one (if you don't just use a spoon) start to scoop out the meat mixture and roll them into approximately 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet.
Fill up your cookie sheet with your meatballs. You can probably get 24-26 balls our of your mixture.
Bake in the oven on 350F for 25 minutes. Rotate your tray front to back and bake another 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Try not to eat them all before you serve them! Warning they will be delicious!
Notes
If you use turkey or chicken – you may need to add a little more seasoning because those proteins need a little extra.
