Instructions

Make Meatballs at Home

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix together egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, parmesan, and Italian seasoning in a medium size bowl.
  • Add ground beef and stir to combine.
  • Roll meatballs into balls measuring between 1 and 1-1/2 inches. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place in preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes (lower end of cook time for smaller meatballs), rotating halfway through if they become brown on the bottom.
  • Remove and let cool completely. Place in a plastic freezer bag and freeze until ready to pack for your camping trip.

Prepare Meatballs at Camp

  • Place meatballs and jar of pasta sauce in a pot over the propane stove or campfire. Cover and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through.
  • Spoon meatballs and sauce over the rolls and top with a slice of Mozzarella cheese.
