AWESOME MEATBALLS



Awesome Meatballs image

This is not your normal meatball recipe. I BAKE these and find that they have a very light and moist texture. By soaking your breadcrumbs in milk, you will give these meatballs an incredibly soft texture. I always make a double batch and keep an extra batch in the freezer for when the kids bring home their friends. I always have a dinner in a matter of seconds!

Time 40m

Yield 2 meatballs, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs, beaten
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, soaked in
1 cup milk
1 cup shallot, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup snipped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb meatloaf mix (ground pork, veal, beef)
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey

Steps:

  • In a small frying pan, place 1-2 T. oil in pan. Sauté on a medium heat the shallots and garlic until lightly brown and transparent.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, soft breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and pepper, thyme and parmesan cheese and milk together. Let stand so breadcrumbs can absorb milk. Add sautéed shallots and garlic and then add meat mixture. Mix, but don't overmix.
  • Form into meatballs and place on a jelly roll pan lined with foil (I use Release Foil, so I don't have to spray with a non-stick spray - if you don't have Release Foil, spray your foil with non-stick spray).
  • Place meatballs in 350°F oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack and either place in freezer container or use as needed.
  • Yield - 48 meatballs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat. Ground beef is the most common meat used for meatballs, but you can also use ground pork, lamb, veal, or a combination of meats. If you're using a leaner meat, such as ground turkey or chicken, add some bread crumbs or grated vegetables to help keep the meatballs moist.
  • Season the meat well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your meatballs. Some classic Italian seasonings include garlic, oregano, basil, and parsley. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, or chopped vegetables.
  • Form the meatballs into small, even-sized balls. This will help them cook evenly. You can use a meatball scoop or simply roll the meat between your hands.
  • Brown the meatballs before cooking them through. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from becoming dry.
  • Cook the meatballs in a flavorful sauce. This will help to keep them moist and delicious. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy sauce, or even a barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Meatballs are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as an appetizer, a main course, or even a snack. They're also a great way to use up leftover meat. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious meatballs that your family and friends will love.
