Desciption

while i won't go into why these are called meat spheres instead of meatballs, my dd found this recipe in my recipe file and made some up. i didn't see a recipe posted just like it. although we are not much for meat spheres, we opt for this recipe because they are simple, baked instead of fried and are versatile. i have made these into tiny meatballs for appetizers as well. i often make double the amount and freeze some for later meals or subs. freezing instructions follow cooking instructions.

Steps

1. Mix all ingredients together and shape into balls ~ about the size of a golfball
2. Brown the meatballs by placing in a shallow baking dish and baking at 350 for 15 minutes until golden brown
3. Place hot meatballs into sauce and let simmer while your pasta cooks
4. "heres how i freeze the meat spheres ~ i make them up and cook them as above"
5. I let them cool a bit
6. Place on a cookie sheet in the freezer and when they are frozen
7. Transfer to a ziplock
8. I take out the amount i need for dinner and put them in a pan with a jar of sauce and let them simmer for 30 minutes at least ~ no need to defrost them first ~ until they are cooked ! very simple !
