Baked Beef Meatballs

Serves 24

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup yellow onion minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian Parsley chopped
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. I use an olive oil spray.
• Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 24-one inch sized meatballs.
• Spread the meatballs out on the prepared baking sheet. You will likely need to bake two batches.
• Spray the tops of the meatballs with non-stick cooking spray before placing the sheet in the oven.
• Bake for 10 minutes, flip each meatball and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are cook through.
• Combine with your favorite marinara sauce and pasta/veggie noodles (GF option) or serve with BBQ sauce as an appetizer.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
