Baked Italian-Style Meatballs

1 pkg. stuffing mix for chicken
2# ground beef
1 1/4 c water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cloves minced garlic
1/3 c grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Place all ingredients in a large bowl; mix until well blended. Shape into 24 meatballs, using about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture for each meatball. Place in a single layer on foil-lined baking pans. Bake 20 minutes or until cooked through.

**The stuffing mix makes these so moist. Would also work for a meatloaf recipe. Be sure to spray the foil so the meatballs don't stick.

Pizza Meat Loaf Cups

1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2# ground beef
1 1/2 c mozzarella cheese

In a large bowl, combine the beaten egg, pizza sauce, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide between 12 greased muffin cups; press onto bottom and up the sides. Fill the center with cheese. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce if desired. Or cool, place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months. To use frozen pizza cups, thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Heat in microwave for 2-3 minutes.

**Could also be made into a meatloaf or meatballs. Very moist.
