Broiled Italian Meatballs image

I came across this when I was just sick of meat loaf and really wanted something else to make out of ground beef. (needless to say I have been making this for a few years) It is super easy, cheap and delicious!

Categories     Beef

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb ground beef
1 c italian seasoned bread crumbs
2/3 c water
2/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 chopped onion (i chop them into very small pieces)
chopped garlic to taste
salt and pepper to taste
i also use italian seasoning from the spice rack
1 c mozzarella cheese (optional if you want to stuff them)
1/2 stick salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix until all ingredients are throughout. Roll the meat into golfball-sized or baseball-sized balls. (Which ever you prefer)
  • 2. Place meatballs on a broiler pan and broil in the oven for about 25 minutes (check to make sure middle is cooked through)
  • 3. Take the meatballs straight to you sauce pan and allow them to simmer in the sauce for about 5-10 minutes. It soaks up some of the sauce and adds flavor.
  • 4. I like to make bow tie pasta with this, but regular spaghetti is just as delicious. Everyone I have made this for agrees that bow tie pasta is a little more fun :)
