Garlic Italian Meatballs...for A Crowd!

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 3 lbs lean ground beef
• 3 lbs ground turkey
• 2 cups finely grated parmesan cheese or 2 cups romano cheese
• 3 heads garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 6 eggs
• 1/2-3/4 cup chopped flat-leaf italian parsley
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• 2 shape into meatballs by tablespoons, and bake on sprayed cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
• 3 if a little "puddle" forms on the cookie sheet, don't worry -- it's just oil from the cheese and meat, and aren't you glad that it came out of the meatballs instead of staying in?! you can get rid of this excess fat by removing cooked meatballs to a dish lined with paper towels.
• 4 enjoy!
