These have been a family favorite for years. My Mom made them for me when I was a kid and now I make them for my kids! You can use store bought meatballs, but they are MUCH better if you make your own. Be sure to let them sit overnight to let all the flavors blend. Truly Delicious!

Tips:

  • Soak the bread in milk before adding it to the meatball mixture. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to give the meatballs flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Form the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs in a hot skillet before baking them. This will help to give them a crispy crust and lock in the juices.
  • Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Some popular options include tomato sauce, mushroom sauce, or gravy.
