Pinterest Favorite: Homemade Meatballs image

An Italian tradition, homemade meatballs are a fantastic, quick and easy dinner that will please the whole family. It's a great recipe to not only feed a lot of people for a large party, but it is also great because you can make a bunch to store in the freezer for quick dinners for later nights this month! ( I personally make them at least once a week for dinner.)

Time 45m

Yield 25 Meatballs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs fresh ground beef (grass-fed is always a good choice)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (great use of any stale bread)
2 tablespoons grated romano cheese
2 whole eggs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon virgin oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
diced onion, to your liking (optional)
fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • For this super simple recipe just mix all of the ingredients in large bowl, and roll into 3 oz size balls or less (depending on your preference that is.).
  • Spray your baking sheet with oil, and bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. If you are planning on serving them with Marinara Sauce, throw the meatballs in the pot to simmer for a while. Doing this will add a yummy, rich flavor to the sauce. Also, do not be afraid to leave them in there for a while too. Grandma used to leave everything to simmer all day before serving dinner. The result was a delicious smelling house as well as an infusion of meaty wonderfulness in the marinara sauce, and super delicious tender meatballs! Garnish your homemade meatballs with some more grated cheese and a little fresh parsley for color and enjoy.
