Best Melt In Your Mouth Italian Meatballs Recipes

SUPER TENDER ITALIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine milk and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. You will see curds at the top.
• Add bread to a small bowl and pour the buttermilk over the bread. Allow the bread to soak up all the milk and mix a little with your hands. Add the bread mixture to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile add olive oil to a small skillet. Add in onion and sauté until tender about 2-3 minutes.
• Add in garlic and sauté for one minute.
• Add onion and garlic to the bowl with the bread along with the beef, pork, cheese, eggs, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Combine the mixture using your hands just until combined. Try not to over work the meatballs. The mixture will be wet. Let stand for a couple of minutes before rolling.
• Roll out 16 meatballs. I make them the size of golf balls.
• Drizzle a skillet with olive oil. Over high heat sear the meatballs on all sides to brown. About 1-2 minutes on each side. (If meatball sticks to the pan give it more time before flipping). Also be careful when flipping meatballs they are pretty fragile.
• Place meatballs on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. They will be slightly undercooked on the inside but they will continue to cook as they come out of the oven. If this is an issue leave in the oven for longer (5 minutes) or simmer in tomato sauce for a few minutes.
• Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.

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.

Steps:

• Put ground beef in large bowl,
• Add the egg and the bread crumbs.
• Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, salt/pepper, there is no measuring for that, just sprinkle.
• Mix meat mixture with clean hands.
• Add about 1/4 cup water. The meat mixture will be soft.
• In a large cooking pot, put sauce, start heating up the sauce, have it set on medium.
• Now take about 2 tablespoons of meat and gently roll in ball, gently put each meatball in the sauce, (yes it will be raw) do not fry the meat balls before the sauce).
• Do this until all the meatballs are in the sauce, cook for 1- 3 hours max. The longer the better. Delish!
