Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

Time 50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 )
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
  • Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
  • After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
  • **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give the meatballs a more flavorful and moist texture.
  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese: This will help to bind the meatballs together and add a delicious cheesy flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and oregano will add a pop of flavor to the meatballs.
  • Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the meatballs into small, 1-inch balls: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before baking them: This will give them a nice browned crust and help to keep them moist.
  • Bake the meatballs in a sauce: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetables: They are also great as an appetizer or snack.
