Favorite Meatballs image

This is the only meatball recipe I've ever used. Given to me by a friend at work, my family has been enjoying these for over 30 years. Use a good quality of Romano. Sometimes I just substitute onion powder if I'm short on time.

Time 1h20m

Yield 30-36 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2-3 lbs ground chuck
1 1/2 cups romano cheese, grated
3 eggs
2/3 cup dry plain breadcrumbs
1 -2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients well and shape into 30-36 meatballs about 1 1/2" in diameter.
  • Brown meatballs in broiler on all sides. (Usually turn them once. Be sure to watch them carefully as they don't take very long).
  • Add browned meatballs to sauce and cook in sauce.
  • If jarred sauce is used, they heat in about 30-40 minutes.
  • If sauce is homemade, I usually just simmer them for several hours while sauce is cooking.
