Everyone loves meatballs! Smother them in Marinara Sauce over pasta, or on a Meatball sandwich with sauce and cheese, these are always a crowd pleaser!

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground sausage

½ large or 1 small onion

1 clove garlic

2 eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs

Chop onions, very finely

Chop, mince or press garlic

With your hands, mix all ingredients together thoroughly

Place heavy frying pan on medium heat, shape meat into balls, placing in pan.

When pan is full, pour ½ cup water or red wine into pan and cover with lid. Cook 5 minutes, remove lid and continue to cook meatballs, turning to brown on all sides.

Repeat with remaining meat, if necessary.

Meatballs can be dropped into hot marinara sauce an hour before serving.

These meatballs freeze beautifully in bags, and can be ready to thaw for any meal.

Meatballs in sauce also freeze well.

Meatballs of any size can be dropped, raw, into hot marinara sauce to cook. Cook for a minimum of 45 minutes with this method. The result is a softer textured meatball.

This recipe can be used to make a meatloaf as well. Shape into loaf, place in loaf pan and bake at 350 for an hour or till done.
