Ingredients:

• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 4 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic granules, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Prepare Wet Mixture:
   Lightly beat the egg, Worcestershire sauce, and half-and-half in a separate bowl.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
   Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated.

4. Incorporate the Meat:
   Add the Italian sausage to the mixture and blend until evenly distributed.

5. Shape the Meatballs:
   Form the mixture into 3/4-inch balls. (Tip: Flatten them until they’re about 3/8-inch thick for easier frying.)

6. Brown the Meatballs:
   In a large skillet, brown the meatballs well on all sides until cooked through. Use a spatula to flip them when one side is done.

7. Drain Excess Fat:
   Once browned, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.

8. Freezing Option:
   To freeze, lay freezer paper (slick side up) on a cookie sheet. Arrange the cooled meatballs on the paper. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags for easy storage.

9. Batch Cooking:
   Consider making a double or triple batch to have extra meatballs on hand. They’re incredibly convenient to have ready in the freezer for quick meals.
