Big Batch Meatball Postpartum Prep

cook:

40 min

70 servings

One of the easiest ways to add protein to any meal is through meatballs so I knew that I wanted to prep a ton of meatballs for the postpartum period. Obviously these will be delicious in pasta and red sauce, but I also add meatballs to rice and veggies, Mediterranean meals - think like, homemade cava, sub sandwiches, we can even jazz them up with a sweet and sour sauce or Swedish meatball sauce. They’re versitile and can be incorporated into almost any lunch or dinner. I’m so happy I have a bagjillion for the postpartum period.

Ingredients

β€’ 4 lbs ground beef
β€’ 2 lbs ground Italian pork sausage
β€’ 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
β€’ 2 small red onions, finely chopped
β€’ 6 cloves garlic, minced, grated, or pressed
β€’ 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
β€’ 5 eggs
β€’ 2 cups milk
β€’ 1 cup panko bread crumbs
β€’ 2 tbsp dried basil
β€’ 2 tbsp dried oregano
β€’ 1 tbsp dried thyme
β€’ 2 tbsp salt
β€’ Freshly cracked black pepper
β€’ 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1.
Combine everything in a VERY large bowl.
2.
Scoop out into meatball sized portions - about 2 tbsp
3.
Place on baking sheets (it took me 1 large and 2 small baking sheets)
4.
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes - until the tops are browned and crispy
5.
The underside will likely be a little soft after baking, so you can flip and broil until that side is browned as well
6.
Let cool on a wire rack before transferring to freezer bags
7.
Eat within 2-3 months
