Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Preheat the grill.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg and Italian seasoning and form into into 3/4 inch-diameter meatballs.
  3. Set out a large piece of foil (about 15” long) and spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the center in an oval shape. Place the meatballs onto the sauce and wrap the foil up to hold the meatballs. Pour the remaining sauce onto each meatball and then seal the foil pack. If needed, use another piece of foil and pinch the edges to make the pack. (If freezing, place on cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen and then place the pack into plastic baggie.
  4. Grill the meatballs in the pack for 25 to 30 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through. Cooking time may vary, depending on thickness of the meatballs and heat of the grill.
  5. Cook the pasta, as directed.
  6. Prepare salad.
