Big Batch of Multi-Purpose Meatballs
12-oz.
tomato sauce
1½ cups dry bread crumbs
4 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup onion, finely chopped
¼ cup green pepper, finely chopped
1 t. salt, optional
Dash of dried thyme, crushed
Dash of dried marjoram, crushed
4 lbs. ground beef
In a large mixing bowl, combine first eight ingredients. Add ground beef and mix well. Shape into meatballs (use a small cookie scoop if available) and place on broiler pan so grease can drain while cooking. Bake uncovered in 350º oven for 30 minutes. Divide into meal-sized portions. To prevent from freezing into a solid meatball-mass, freeze individually on cookie sheets and then place in freezer bags. Label and freeze. To serve meatballs, thaw completely, and reheat with your choice of sauces. Yield: 4 dozen
