Homemade meatballs are not only delicious, they are pure comfort food. They are also extremely versatile and can be combined with hundreds of different sauces to make delicious meals. Homemade meatballs are also very quick and easy to make; several hundred can be made in just one short session using a small scoop, and then they can be packaged in Ziploc bags and frozen for later use. The following Meatball Module will save you hours in the kitchen, and give you great options for delicious meals in just a matter of minutes.

Several years ago there was an advertisement for a national hamburger chain that asked the question “Where’s the Beef?” If you’ve been purchasing those frozen meatballs from the grocery or warehouse store, this is the question you need to ask. Those frozen meatballs only contain about half meat; the other major ingredient is textured vegetable protein, also know as soy protein, or TVP. Another term for this disgusting ingredient is ”Fake Meat!”

While prepackaged frozen meatballs are perfectly round, they have a rubbery texture and very little flavor. If you really care about what you and your family are eating (and care about your taste buds), you will toss the meatballs that are sitting in your freezer and set aside an hour or two to make a few hundred proper meatballs from real beef.

Oh, and if you aren’t already convinced, please note that my two miniature dachshunds gave me my first clue that those store-bought balls aren’t real meat – they actually turned their noses up at those disgusting meatballs and ate their dry dog food instead!
