Muffin Pan Meatballs
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 3 servings.
This is a simple weeknight recipe my grandma passed along to me. I grew up on a farm where my father was a beef producer, so we always had ground beef in the freezer. I made these meatballs for our family and for kids while I was babysitting, and they were always a hit. Leftovers reheat well the next day. —Karen Davis, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
