Ground Beef and Sausage Meatballs

Submitted by cleash

"I had some spicy homemade sausage to use and thought some meatballs sounded good! Found a couple recipes and combined. The kids thought it was great! So did the wife and I. Use them in Italian dishes or as appetizers. Would also be good on a meatball sub!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 50 meatballs
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 lb bulk sausage
• 2⁄3 cup fine dry breadcrumb
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water, as needed

directions

1. Line shallow baking dish with foil and oil.
2. Combine all ingredients and mix, using enough water to meld.
3. Shape into meatballs 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
4. Broil the meatballs 8 inches from broiler for 10 minutes. Turn over meatballs and broil for 10 more minutes.
5. I had 50 meatballs so you may have to broil in two batches. I used my Holland grill and cooked them on there which helped eliminate them sitting in the grease.
