With this big batch beef meatball recipe, I usually get about 125 1-inch meatballs. (Yes, I counted them! And not just once.) A pound of ground beef will make roughly 30 medium-size (1-inch) meatballs. If you'd like to try this recipe with just 1 lb of meat, I did calculation for you: - ½ cup Panko Japanese breadcrumbs - 6 tablespoons milk - 1 lb lean ground beef - 2 garlic cloves, pressed - 1 egg - ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
