Shirley's Greek meatballs


This isn't really a baba recipe and likely would have counted as something exotic if made in the 70s but a good friend of ours invited Nathan, Grace and I over for dinner when Jason was away and this is what she served. Now I do not have the exact recipe and the one that I am posting is not exact in and of itself - but it is worth trying and was definitely good.

1 lb ground beef
1 egg beaten
1/2 to 1 cup soft, fresh bread crumbs
a good heaping tablespoon or more of greek seasoning (I used clubhouse brand)
Combine the above together until well mixed but don't over combine or meatballs will be tough.
Then add 1/2 to 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese (again, I lean toward more is better)

Form into meatballs that are about the size of a golfball or slightly larger. Put on a broiler pan or seasoned stoneware pan and bake at 375 until browned somewhat on outside and internal temperature reads 165 F.

Serve alongsige a greek salad and some greek potatoes if you like
