Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, beat eggs with a fork. Add bread crumbs, onion, milk, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and beef; mix well. Shape into about forty-eight 1 1/4-1 1/2-inch meatballs. Place in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until cooked through. Drain.
