Provided by Kelley Simmons

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cups bread (cubed (I used a day old baguette))
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. You will see curds at the top.
  • Add bread to a small bowl and pour the buttermilk over the bread. Allow the bread to soak up all the milk and mix a little with your hands. Add the bread mixture to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile add olive oil to a small skillet. Add in onion and sauté until tender about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in garlic and sauté for one minute.
  • Add onion and garlic to the bowl with the bread along with the beef, pork, cheese, eggs, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
  • Combine the mixture using your hands just until combined. Try not to over work the meatballs. The mixture will be wet. Let stand for a couple of minutes before rolling.
  • Roll out 16 meatballs. I make them the size of golf balls.
  • Drizzle a skillet with olive oil. Over high heat sear the meatballs on all sides to brown. About 1-2 minutes on each side. (If meatball sticks to the pan give it more time before flipping). Also be careful when flipping meatballs they are pretty fragile.
  • Place meatballs on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. They will be slightly undercooked on the inside but they will continue to cook as they come out of the oven. If this is an issue leave in the oven for longer (5 minutes) or simmer in tomato sauce for a few minutes.
  • Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.

BUTTERMILK MEATBALLS

Not sure exactly where I found this but I do know it was a personal blog online. I modified the original recipe just a little and think these are the BEST! They let just enough of the buttermilk flavor through and are super moist without falling apart. I use these for tomato sauce, sweet and sour, and Swedish meatballs.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices crustless white bread, torn into small pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 lb ground beef (I use 80/20 hamburger)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 egg
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine bread pieces and buttermilk in a bowl. I use my Kitchenaide so just put it in the mixing bowl.
  • Let the bread and buttermilk sit for 10 minutes.
  • Then mash, or mix, to a smooth paste.
  • Add other ingredients and blend well, but be careful NOT to overwork the mixture.
  • I then place the mixture in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This just firms the mixture and makes it easier to handle.
  • Next I form 1 inch balls and deep fry them at 310 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Not sure how they would be baked but please let me know if anyone tries that.
  • Last I usually put them in the crock pot with my sauce for about an hour to insure the middle is done well and to let the flavors blend.
  • So far this recipe has never failed me.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Ground beef and pork are the most common meats used for meatballs, but you can also use lamb, veal, or turkey.
  • Use fresh bread crumbs: Fresh bread crumbs will help to bind the meatballs together and give them a lighter texture.
  • Add some moisture: Milk, eggs, or broth can help to add moisture to the meatballs and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatballs well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatballs. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, and basil.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them: Browning the meatballs will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality buttermilk: Buttermilk is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality buttermilk that is fresh and not sour.
  • Simmer the meatballs until they are cooked through: The meatballs should be cooked through before you serve them. You can check if they are cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball. The internal temperature should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Meatballs in buttermilk sauce is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the buttermilk sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
