Cynthia’s Freeze Ahead Beretta Meatballs

Prep Time
10 Minutes		 Serves
6 People

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs organic ground Beretta beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 TB worcestershire
  • 1/4 cup panko
  • 1/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 TB fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh shredded basil (dry is okay for a substitute)
  • 2 cloves of crushed garlic (feel free to add more if you’re a garlic lover like me!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients together, and use your hands to really work it all in.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Start making golf ball sized meatballs and layout on your baking sheet
  4. Once you have rolled all the meat out, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 2 hours, until meatballs feel firm.
  5. Transfer the meatballs into bags and freeze until you’re ready to enjoy them! I recommend reheating them at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. They will last in the freezer for up to a year.

Buon Appetito,

Cynthia
