YUM.<br /><br />Meat (nearly) aside, I'm lamenting that possible shellfish allergy... but celebrating the muffins. They look incredible!Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627131190832189839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-29445532698080694472010-01-22T11:57:47.084-06:002010-01-22T11:57:47.084-06:00Julia,

You can use all beef, but many recipes I see call for pork as well. I added 3 breakfast sausage (pork) links, since I had them on hand and they weren't overly spiced. I'd say if you were buying it, a pound of beef and a half pound of pork would be good mix. I know that some markets sell a "meatloaf mix" of beef, pork and veal, and that would be a good mix too.<br /><br />1 lb. beef <br />1/2 lb. pork, optional<br />1/2 - 3/4 of a medium onion, chopped fine<br />1/2 red pepper, chopped fine<br />1/2 green pepper, chopped fine<br />1 or 2 garlic, thinly sliced<br />dried oregano, about 1/2 t.<br />dried basil, about 1/2 t.<br />bread crumbs - I used a 2 inch thick slice of my homemade wheat bread blitzed in the food pro - but you can use dry or panko - whatever you have!<br /><br />Saute onions, peppers and garlic seasoned with salt and pepper in a bit of olive oil, until cooked down. Let them cool a bit before adding to the beef and pork, and then add the rest of the ingredients. <br /><br />Toss gently (I like to use my hands, and kind of "fluff" the meat - try not to overwork it). Portion into balls about 1 1/2 T. or so big, and bake in preheated 375 oven for 25-30 minutes. If you have meat that isn't too lean, bake them on a wire rack so the fat drips down. You could also decide to pan fry them until they are browned on all sides and then add them to your sauce to finish cooking.<br /><br />For my amounts, I got about 50 meatballs. I like freezing them fully cooked, too. Instant quick meal!rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-6006770167545393892010-01-21T23:24:41.380-06:002010-01-21T23:24:41.380-06:00Rebecca,
