Easy Recipes:

We all love easy recipes that taste amazing and my meatball recipe definitely falls into that category. Easy, healthy, made from scratch and you can make a large recipe and freeze some for later!

A meatball recipe with a killer sauce that the whole family will love! Make these for freezer meals as well!

Easy Meatball Recipe:

You will need:

  • 3# of hamburger
  • 1 13oz can of evaporated milk
  • 2 c. quick oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoon chilli powder

Mix together until well blended and form into 1-2 in. meatballs. Place meatballs into 9×13 glass baking dish. This recipe will completely fill your pan, making it an ideal meal for large families.

Meatball Recipe for large families

For your Meat Ball Sauce Recipe, you will need:

Notes
If you have a smaller family and don't want to be eating left-overs, or if you just want to make a freezer meal, it's easy to do. Line a cookie sheet with dry wax paper and put your raw, unbaked meatballs on it. Freeze for 4-6 hours, then place in freezer bags. The sauce can be poured into a freezer bag or container and frozen as well. Use within 2 months.

    I was planning on making several trays of these for a bridal shower in June. Can I make them, bake them and freeze them so all I have to do is defrost and reheat for ease on the day of the shower. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      I think you could bake them and freeze them no problem. Just bake them in the sauce, let cool and put plastic wrap over the top and then tin foil. I wouldn’t freeze them for more than a month though πŸ™‚
