  • Yield: 46 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1lb ground pork

  • 4 teaspoons Maker’s Mark Mom’s Meatball Blend

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine the bread crumbs and milk and set aside for 5-10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. 
  2. Add the remaining meatball ingredients to the breadcrumb mixture and combine using your hands, being careful not to overmix.

  7. Bake meatballs for 12-15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F. 
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and move meatballs to a serving platter, bowl, or on top of rice or stir fry noodles. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and serve immediately.
