Italian Meatballs image

This recipe was passed to me from my late mother-in-law...the VERY first time I met her AND my soon to be husband's extended family. She told me if I was going to marry her son I better learn how to make this recipe real quick...good thing I love to cook huh! It's ALL about the food!

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 lbs ground beef
1 -1 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
6 eggs
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Shape into meatballs a little bigger than a golf ball -- for some reason, Italian meatballs are always huge but they taste so great!
  • Brown in oil or bake in a 350° oven until browned then add to a basil - tomato sauce (your own recipe) or mine when I post it.
  • For a few good variations add: Italian sausage, ribs (mmm).
  • This is not for the calorie-counting/cholesterol-watching crowd!
