Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ground chuck or beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pieces bread, processed into crumbs
1 egg (optional)
1/2 cup mozzarella or freshly grated Parmesan
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 26 oz jar pasta/spaghetti sauce
1 lb spaghetti, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Finely chop 1/2 an onion, process bread into crumbs in a processor, and combine all ingredients for the meatballs including seasonings. Using washed and clean hands, roll the meatballs into 2-inch diameters and place on foil on rimmed baking sheet (otherwise fat will run off). Continue making meatballs until ingredients are all used up. You should end up with about 16 large meatballs. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet or foil, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake until they are cooked through, about 25 minutes. . While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil with salt for the spaghetti and warm the spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add extra seasoning like Italian, parsley, oregano, and basil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain and plate accordingly. When meatballs are almost cooked through, add a few sprinkles of mozzarella cheese and broil until browned. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle some parsley flakes on top of the meatballs and serve with readied spaghetti and sauce. Garlic bread would also be a nice addition to this Italian meal!

I made these meatballs with whole wheat breadcrumbs and they were still very good. I also added some chopped mushrooms to the sauce and it gave it a nice earthy flavor.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but I tried these and they were actually pretty good. The sauce was especially good.

I made these meatballs with ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very good. I also added some chopped vegetables to the sauce and it gave it a nice flavor.

These meatballs were good but not great. I found them to be a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
