OVEN BAKED HOMEMADE MEATBALLS image

I made these Italian Inspired Meat Balls especially to satisfy my husband. I had purchased the Italian Sausage reduced, and decided to add the spices that I thought would elevate the flavor of the meat Balls. To save time I baked them in the oven, they turned out great. I made them much larger than most to appease my husbands...

  • 3. Add both Italian and ground beef to a large bowl, then add in the chopped onions & garlic, bread crumbs, eggs, Italian Sausage, and Parmesan cheese, spices and milk.
  • 4. Blend together, your hands are the best tools to mix this together. May need a bit extra milk if meat Balls are too dry.
  • 5. Shape into desired size meat Balls then bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 1 hour. Add to pasta sauce or freeze some for later.
