Meatballs

Sean

Meat Mixture
-1.5 lbs any roast meat (I just get whatever is on sale since the bacon provides the fat)
– 0.5 lbs bacon
– Some spicy item, red pepper flakes, thai chili, etc.
– 3 eggs
– Bread crumbs until the right consistency (I really  would just be guessing but maybe 1/4 cup?)
– Garlic or garlic powder
– Minced onions (optional)
– Penzey’s Mural of Flavor spice mixture (again guessing 1 tablespoon)
– Salt/Pepper (again, guessing 1 tablespoon)
– 1 block of cheddar cheese, cubed

Braising fluid:
– More Garlic (fresh this time)
– More Onions (I like slices in the broth)
– Beef Broth (1 carton…?)
– 1 Jar of pasta sauce (usually garlic)

  1. Make single layer of onion (thin slices) soaking in some broth in a casserole dish.
  2. Mix meat mixture, then form balls around the cheese cubes. Set on top of onions in casserole dish.
  3. Pour rest of broth over meatballs, then top with sauce.
  4. Bake at 400, roughly 45 minutes (internal temp of meatballs at 145)
