COLEMAN ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Ingredients

• 1 pound Coleman Ground Chuck
• 1/4 pound Italian sausage, optional
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoon chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Combine above ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Mix thoroughly, but gently, by hand or with a wooden spoon.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Spray a cookie sheet with sides using non stick cooking spray.  Gently shape meat mixture into balls (about 12) and arrange in the prepared pan.  Bake 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Serve meatballs with your favorite sauce over pasta or in sandwiches.  A green salad tossed with a red wine vinaigrette would be a flavorful side dish.  Fresh fruit and cheese would complete your meal.
