More Meatballs

This is not the family meatball recipe; it’s a meat variant of the turkeyballs I usually put in soup, also scaled up for a new size of ground beef from Costco.

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ – 1 ½ lb ground beef
• ¾ c. panko
• ¾ c. diced onion or ½ c. minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ¼ tsp dried parsley
• 1 ¼ tsp dried basil
• dash oregano, marjoram, and/or thyme
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 T. nutritional yeast (optional)
• olive oil

Directions

1. Optionally brown the diced onion about 8 minutes in olive oil.
2. Add the garlic for another minute, then remove from oil. (Leave the pan.)
3. Mix all ingredients except oil.
4. Roll into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
5. Brown on all sides in pan.
6. Finish cooking meatballs either in oil or in sauce.
