Beef and Pork Sausage Meatballs

After cooking these meatballs, cool, flash freeze them, then bag them and keep them in the freezer so you can use what you need when you need it.  

Ingredients:

1 cup stale bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1  lb extra lean ground beef
8 pork and beef breakfast sausages, casing removed
3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 egg
2 tbsps dried parsley
2 tbsps parmesan cheese
1 tsp crushed fennel seeds
1/2 - 1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp sage
1 tsp garlic powder

Pour the milk over the bread crumbs in a bowl to moisten them.  Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well. Using extra lean ground beef is the way to go as the sausage meat has enough fat in it for flavour.

Form into balls.  Here they are...ready for the oven.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
