Expert Tips

Shape meatballs fast by using an ice-cream scoop. Or instead of shaping balls at all, pat the mixture into a 9x3-inch rectangle in an ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares, and separate slightly. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes.

Shape beef mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. 3 dozen appetizers.

Substitute 1 lb ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. (If using ground chicken, decrease milk to 2 tablespoons.) To bake, spray rectangular pan with cooking spray; bake until no longer pink in center and thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F. To cook in skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat before adding meatballs; cook until no longer pink in center and thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F.

Absolutely wonderful...and I don't like meatballs. I took out the egg, added 1 tablespoon of water and added some soy sauce. I could not stop eating them!!

These were a hit tonite! I made them to go with homemade spaghetti sauce with a few modifications. I used McCormick's SeasonAll instead of the salt, then I used 1/4 tsp. garlic powder instead of garlic salt (see k456's note). I also added 1/2 tsp. onion powder instead of the chopped onion. I forgot the Worcestershire Sauce, but the meat was still tasty. I had intended to add 1/4-1/2 tsp. Jim Beam Steak Sauce w/the Worcestershire sauce...but forgot that too. I will try it next time, as there definitely will be a next time. I used the "shape a rectangle & cut into squares, then bake in a 9x13 cake pan" method, which worked beautifully since I was busy with other preparations. I cut down the time a bit by using my speed bake feature after they had been in the oven for about 10 min. The next time I will try them on the broiler pan rack to keep them a little neater without having to trim the seepage from the meatballs that forms in the pan. All-in-all, we really liked these.
