This was on a Bobby Flay Throwdown show. I usually get around 28 ping-pong ball sized meatballs out of this, use what I need, and freeze the rest (baked).

Time 55m

Yield 24-28 meatballs, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground chuck
6 ounces dried breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
4 ounces whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces Spanish onions, grated
2 ounces fresh garlic, finely diced
2 ounces fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet or mini-muffin pans with cooking spray.
  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose, add more bread crumbs.
  • Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet or in mini-muffin pans. I find that using the mini-muffin pans helps retain the round shape of the meatball.
  • Place into preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add to your favorite sauce.

MAMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND SAUCE



Mama Maroni's Meatballs and Sauce image

From "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". My boyfriend Loves this dish, he say's that they are the best meatballs he has ever eaten. They are great served with spaghetti or especially good served in a toasted hoagie roll with a little melted cheese on top. The sauce is thick and full of flavor. Be sure to use good quality "Crushed" tomatoes, not diced or stewed etc. It's key to the sauce coming out perfectly. I add a little red pepper flakes for a little more kick. Also, the original recipe doesn't mention adding salt to the meat mixture, but it is needed in my opinion. These are super easy and so, so good!

3 ounces Spanish onions, grated or minced
2 ounces garlic, minced
2 ounces fresh Italian parsley
2 ounces fresh basil, chopped

6 ounces olive oil, good quality, not extra virgin
12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded

Steps:

  • Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Roll meatballs into golfball sized balls.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • While meatballs are baking, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Saute onions until soft. Add garlic and saute until onions start to brown.
  • Add Tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add some red pepper flakes if desired. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings.
  • Stir in basil.
  • I like to add the meatballs to the finished sauce so that the flavors can meld.
  • If you are using the meatballs only for sandwiches, you can halve the sauce recipe, but if you want sauce for pasta, use full recipe.

GRANDMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND MARONI SAUCE 100 YEAR OLD RECIPE



Grandma Maroni's Meatballs and Maroni Sauce 100 Year Old Recipe image

I found this recipe on the Food Network website on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It is from Maroni Cuisine in Northport, New York. I saw the episode and was inspired to make the meatballs. Boy am I glad I did. They are so good! Truly the best meatballs I have ever eaten. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/grandma-maronis-meatballs-100-year-old-recipe-recipe/index.html The original recipe uses ounces-I have somewhat converted it into teaspoons and cups. (Hopefully I have done it correctly, but it tastes good too with my measurements!)

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork for the meatballs. This will give them a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Roll the meatballs into small, uniform balls. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before simmering them in the sauce. This will give them a nice crust and help to keep them from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce for the meatballs. A homemade sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you are short on time.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
  • Serve the meatballs with spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Mama Maroni's meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make meatballs that are sure to impress your family and friends.
