Meatballs

24-36 meatballs

2 lbs. ground beef, 85/15
3/4 cup Parmesan (I use the grated kind not shredded)
1 cup bread crumbs (I like to make my own out of sandwich bread or a Italian loaf, in the processor)
3 eggs
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Tablespoon Basil
1 Tablespoon Garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Roll into golf ball size meatballs.  Use a baking sheet with edges.
I think I bake them at 375* about 12-15 min.
