Magic Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb ground beef
3/4 lb ground Italian sausage
1 cup oatmeal
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons sweet basil
2 tablespoons white onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups of your favorite tomato sauce
1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large, shallow bowl, mix, by hand, the ground beef and ground sausage.
Add the beaten egg and continue to mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, combine quick-oats, oregano, basil, onion, and garlic.
Add the oat mixture to the meat and continue to mix.
When these ingredients are thoroughly mixed, knead the meat until it is soft and pliable.
Separate into amounts about the size of ping-pong balls. Roll each ball between your palms and place in rows in a 13x9-inch glass baking dish.
Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, uncover dish, carefully drain grease from the dish, then pour sauce over meatballs. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese if desired. Cover and return to oven.
Bake for an additional 30 minutes. After baking, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve over cooked spaghetti or other pasta of your choice, or serve on Italian bread.
