Homemade Meatballs
Enjoy a bit of comfort food with this classic Homemade Meatballs recipe that's sure to become a family favorite. These tender, flavorful meatballs are perfect with pasta, in a sub, or just with a side of veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread with crust removed, cut into small pieces (I use store bought potato bread, but any white bread will do.)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 16 ounces meatloaf mix (This is a combination of ground beef, veal and pork. *See Note if you cannot find.)
- 1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese (not grated)
+ 10 more ingredients
Instructions
Place the bread in a small bowl and pour the milk over it. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, place the meatloaf mix, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and beaten egg.
Mash the bread mixture to form a paste and add the meat mixture. Combine well. I find it easiest to mix everything together with my hands.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for two hours. This step allows for the flavors to meld, but can be skipped if pressed for time.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Form the meatballs using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown half the meatballs, a few minutes on each side. Repeat with the rest.
Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet, large enough to hold all the meatballs.
Repeat with remaining meatballs. Transfer cookie sheet to oven to finish cooking for about 20-25 minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite sauce and pasta.
