Jo's Baked Meatballs
"These meatballs are so good and so easy! You could serve them with a wonderful tomato pasta and sauce, or on a split roll for a delish sandwich. Very good leftover and I would bet they freeze well.
I grind my own beef and pork using my food processor.
I use very lean meat and there isn't any grease in my pan after cooking. (Use a nonstick mini muffin pan)"

<p>Love to cook, my daughters do also. I was introduced to RecipeZaar by my oldest DD and I am addicted to it. <br /><br />I live in East Texas, and sometimes some of the exotic ingredients in some of the recipes I want to make present quite a challenge - <br /><br />I started cooking early and have always enjoyed finding new recipies and making menus - but RecipeZaar has taken this to a whole new level. <br /><br />Pick A Chef Banner: <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><br />I Was Adopted banner: <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
