These are so great, and a lot cheaper than buying them in a store!
In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs and milk. Stir in soft bread crumbs (4 slices), and salt. Add ground beef and mix well. Chill.
With wet hands, shape into balls. Place into two 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch baking pans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
Put meatballs in another pan to cool. Place in freezer just until a little frozen, then put into zip lock freezer bags. You can then use a few at a time for your meals!

I love meatballs, but when a recipe calls for browning them on the stove, I have my own trick which is much less messy and I don't have to stand there turning the little buggers.
Mix meatball mixture ingredients in large bowl and shape into balls. Arrange in 9x9 inch pan. Mix together sauce ingredients and pour over meatballs.
This is a wildly popular recipe in a neighborhood food group I belong to. I used ground turkey, fresh parsley from my garden instead of the thyme, chopped onions I had frozen previously, and Swiss cheese instead of the pricey Gruyere.
