Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Water
  • 6 ounces Stuffing Mix

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or you can use foil sprayed with non-stick Cooking Spray.
  • Add Ground Beef, Eggs, Water, and Dry Stuffing mix to large mixing bowl, and use your hands to mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Roll beef mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for approx. 15 - 18 minutes, or until done and meatballs reach a 165 degree internal temperature.
  • Storage Tip: Meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer Friendly Tip: To freeze meatballs, after baking transfer them to a clean cookie sheet and flash freeze for a minimum of 3 hours. Then transfer to gallon sized freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating Tip: To reheat your frozen meatballs, cook with your favorite sauce in a crockpot for 2 hours on HIGH or 4 hours on LOW... or bake on a parchment lined baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for about 13 - 15 minutes.

These homemade meatballs are great served with a Traditional Pasta Meal, on a sub for a Meatball Sandwich… or you can pull out your crockpot and try some of these easy recipes…

    Do the meatballs need to be frozen prior to putting them in the crockpot? If I am making your easy meatball recipe should I freeze them first?

    Has anyone ever tried making these with fully cooked frozen meatballs from somewhere like Costco or Smart and Final? Or are there any that you would recommend? I’m looking for short-cuts because I need to make these for over 75 people.

    TIA

    Sounds like a great recipe but do you use the seasoning in the stove top stuffing also or just bread crumbs?

    Could I halve this recipe using 1 lb ground beef and half box stuffing, 1 egg and half cup water?

    Is the dry stuffing mix like stovetop stuffing or just the dry pepperidge farm stuffing? I want to try these as frozen meatballs can add up. Thanks!

    Hi Annie ~ I spray the foil. They’ll come off much easier after they’re done. 🙂

    My family doesn’t eat beef either…. but they wanted spagetti and meatballs for dinner. Problem is I really don’t like making them — too many ingredients, yadda, yadda, yadda…

    Luckily I found this recipe, tried it with stuffing, eggs, ground turkey, italian seasoning and 1 bulb of minced garlic… yummm….they are delish!

    We didn’t bake the first batch — cooked them like I usually do boil in water first (to retain shape) then brown them with a little oil, which takes about an hour (give or take) but we are going to bake the next batch….

    I’ll be making meatballs for my family more often now that I found this easy AND fast recipe. Many thanks!!!!

    These look really easy, but I don’t eat beef. Has anyone tried these with ground chicken or turkey? Would it cook for the same amount of time?
