"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Heat oven to 350ºF. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the Lipton Onion Soup mix to the cup of hot water. Stir until it dissolves. Add the Hunts tomato sauce and mix well. Add the eggs and blend together. Season with black pepper as you like. Place ground beef in a large mixing bowl, and break apart. Pour in the soup-tomato mixture and add parmesan cheese. Start Blending. Add breadcrumbs a little at a time until the mixture holds together.
Line a 17"x11" pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Meat mixture can be used to make: Meatballs - make 2"-3" meatballs (you get 12-15). Mini Meatloaves - shape larger balls of mixture into rectangles, flattening the tops. One large meatloaf. Bake the meatballs and mini-meatloaves 45 min - 1 hour. The large meatloaf should take 1½ - 2 hours. Use or cool and package individually and freeze. .

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I like to defrost 3-4 meatballs, break them up and add to any store bought spaghetti sauce to serve over pasta for a quick evening meal. NOTE: I've also added a few shakes of McCormick California Style Onion powder with White & Green Onions & Parsley, to add more flavor.
