Best Kims Italian Meatballs Recipes
CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.

KIM'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
I had never written my recipe down before, so I estimated the measurements. These meatballs taste very similar to my Aunt Frances! Unfortunately we never got her "exact" recipe, as she didn't follow written recipes. She was an awesome cook and I always thought her spaghetti and meatballs were the best!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Soak 2 slices of bread in 1/4 cup milk for 10 minutes.
- Don't squeeze out the milk, as adding the milk and bread to the meat mixture will make the meatballs very tender.
- Add all other ingredients to the wet bread and milk and mix well with hands.
- Roll meat into balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until meat is done.
- Add to spaghetti sauce and let simmer in sauce for at leat 30 minutes before serving.
ITALIAN BAKED MEATBALLS
This recipe makes the most tender and tasty meatballs. I also freeze these meatballs and take out how many servings I need for each meal. If cooking in sauce, add baked meatballs 20 minutes before serving time.

KIM SEVERSON'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
These are the meatballs you want to serve with spaghetti sauce - my mother Anne Marie Zappa's is the one I'd use, but your favorite will work as well. Key to the recipe is a light hand in the mixing.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except olive oil by hand, using a light touch. Take a portion of meat in hand, and roll between palms to form a ball that is firmly packed but not compressed. Repeat, making each meatball about 2 inches in diameter.
- In a large, heavy pot heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add meatballs in batches. Do not crowd. Brown well on bottoms before turning, or meatballs will break apart. Continue cooking until browned all over. Remove meatballs to a plate as each batch is finished. Let meatballs cool slightly; cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Serve with spaghetti sauce.
