Throwdown Meatballs
These meatballs are baked, which makes them incredibly easy! They are great in spaghetti and subs!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% fat)
- 1¼ cup fresh bread crumbs (or 1 cup dried bread crumbs)
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1¼ cup Parmesan cheese (I use the powdered stuff, but use whatever you have on hand.)
- ¾ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. parsley
- 1 tsp. basil
- 1 jar spaghetti sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl, stir together the meat, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, Parmesan, onion, garlic, parsley, and basil. (I use my hands.) Mix well until well-incorporated.
- Shape the meat into golf-sized balls. (I use a cookie scoop.). Place each meatball on a well-greased baking sheet topped with a greased cooling rack. (This allows the meatballs to drain as they cook.)
- Bake the meatballs for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
- Place the meatballs in a large skillet and top with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Heat over medium-high heat until the sauce and meatballs are hot. Serve over spaghetti, or use in meatball subs.
