Servings: persons

1 lb ground chuck (hot or mild for Danish) or 1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild for Italian)
4 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
½ teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 egg
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 dash Worcestershire sauce

1
Mix dry ingredients.
2
Lightly beat eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and half-and-half; add to dry ingredients and mix well.
3
Add the meat of your choice, mix well.
4
Form into 3/4-inch balls.
5
(I cheat, after I roll them I flatten mine until they're about 3/8-inch thick.
6
They're easier to fry that way, just flip them with a spatula when one side is done instead of rolling them around trying to get them evenly cooked on all sides).
7
Brown well on all sides; drain on a paper towel.
8
To freeze, place freezer paper, slick side up on a cookie sheet.
9
Arrange the cooled meat balls on it.
10
When frozen transfer to freezer bags.
11
I usually make a double or triple batch so I'll have extra to freeze, they're that handy to have about.
