THE BEST MEATBALLS

I never knew how to make good meatballs until I found this recipe. I normally make mine with just ground beef and they still taste great. I've used the combination of pork, beef and veal and they are equally good. Definitely use fresh bread crumbs and freshly grate your cheese instead of using the canned variety...it really does make a difference.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground veal
½ pound ground pork
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 ½ tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups stale Italian bread, crumbled
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful meatball, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Adding bread crumbs to the meatball mixture helps to bind the ingredients together and create a lighter texture.
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley and basil, add a delicious flavor to the meatballs.
  • Grated Parmesan cheese adds a cheesy flavor and helps to keep the meatballs moist.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the meatballs so that they have plenty of room to brown.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Once the meatballs are cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce, marinara sauce, or Alfredo sauce.
