Kim's Italian Meatballs image

I had never written my recipe down before, so I estimated the measurements. These meatballs taste very similar to my Aunt Frances! Unfortunately we never got her "exact" recipe, as she didn't follow written recipes. She was an awesome cook and I always thought her spaghetti and meatballs were the best!

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 slices bread
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 -4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Soak 2 slices of bread in 1/4 cup milk for 10 minutes.
  • Don't squeeze out the milk, as adding the milk and bread to the meat mixture will make the meatballs very tender.
  • Add all other ingredients to the wet bread and milk and mix well with hands.
  • Roll meat into balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until meat is done.
