Ingredients

2 large eggs (( 1 per pound of beef as a binder - optional))
1 cup breadcrumbs (, fresh or dried [See Note 2])
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon poultry or Italian seasoning ((optional))
32 oz lean ((90% or leaner) ground beef)
6 cups (48 ounces) Spaghetti Sauce, Homemade or jarred marinara

Steps:

Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the breadcrumbs, milk, onion, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.
Next add the beef and with your fingertips lightly mix the ingredients until just combined but try not to over mix or compact the meat. Make the meatballs into 1 ounce balls (about 1 to 1 1/2-inches) compressing them just enough to form a ball and place in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover with sauce and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.

GARLIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS...FOR A CROWD!

Garlic Italian Meatballs...for a Crowd! image

These meatballs are simple, versatile, and packed with savory, garlicky flavor! YUM!! Use them for spaghetti, meatball sandwiches, Italian wedding soup, baked ziti...I think this recipe will serve 35 people. :-) It would also freeze well for those of you who do OAMC. The lady who gave me this recipe used to be a caterer, and she told me that one of her clients said these were better than his Italian wife's own meatballs! I guess that's saying something. Anyway, I really like these, and if you love garlic, so will you! Cooking time is for one batch of meatballs, but of course it will take longer to make all of them. Prep time doesn't include peeling and mincing the three heads of garlic, which is admittedly a somewhat lengthy process. Oh well, it's certainly worth it!!

Time 30m

Yield 200 meatballs, 35 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Shape into meatballs by tablespoons, and bake on sprayed cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
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.
ENJOY!
