adapted from Betty Crocker’s New Cookbook

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup whole grain cracker crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 large egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Mix until well combined.  Using damp hands, roll the meat mixture into 24 balls and set in an ungreased baking dish.  (You can also make smaller meatballs, but you’ll have to bake them for less time. One-inch meatballs should take about 15 minutes and you’ll get at least 36 of them)

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until nicely browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
