Prepare Casserole Dish: Grease a casserole dish, ensuring the meatballs won’t stick during baking.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, milk, yellow cornmeal, dry mustard, seasoning salt, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Form Meatballs: Take portions of the mixture and shape them into 16 small meatballs, ensuring they are evenly sized for even cooking.
-
Coat in Flour: Roll each meatball in flour until evenly coated. This will create a crispy outer layer when cooked.
-
Brown Meatballs: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until they develop a golden crust, ensuring they are cooked through.
-
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Once browned, transfer the meatballs to the prepared casserole dish, arranging them evenly.
-
Add Tomato Juice: Sprinkle the meatballs lightly with an additional 2 tablespoons of flour to help thicken the sauce. Then pour the 1 1/2 cups of tomato juice over the meatballs, ensuring they are coated evenly.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the savory meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot as a delicious main dish or appetizer, paired with your favorite sides or sauces.
