Basic Meatballs

This isn't exactly quick, but it is pretty easy and it makes enough for us to have for 3 meals. And they are so yummy to eat. After they are cooked and cooled they can be placed in Ziplock bags and frozen for future use. They stay fresh longer if frozen with the sauce on them. Use within 2-3 months.

3 lbs ground beef
3 lbs ground pork
6 eggs slightly beaten
3 tsp garlic salt
6 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
3 c. dry bread crumbs (I used stuffing mix and omitted the salt)
3/4 c. minced onion
1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Using a rounded tablespoon, shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake in 350 degree oven. (these shrink so you can place them very close together in order to fit more on the cookie sheet). Bake 15-20 minutes.
Serve plain or with one of the following sauces:
