I only use 2-3lbs ground beef but reduced the spice amounts and added PARMESAN/OREGANO CHEESE:
3tbsp oregano, 3tbsp parsley, 3 tbsp grated parmesan/oregano cheese (Kraft makes this blend), 3 cloves garlic, 1 pkg onion soup mix and 1-1/2c bread crumbs. I took the dry ingredients and blended them in a food chopper (kids only think they hate onions!) I mixed it with the ground beef and baked...but watched the timing very carefully...it DOES NOT take 1 hour more like 1/2 hour. I put some of them in my sauce and let them simmer. (I froze the rest...it makes a lot more than 8 servings unless this is your main dish and even then it is a lot!) They were very good and I make them once a month to grab from the freezer for a quick spaghetti and meatball dinner.
