Easy Italian Style Meatballs



I was preparing my menu last week and realized I hadn't made meatballs in a really long time.  This is the recipe I use for spaghetti and meatballs subs. They can be made into whatever size you want just adjust the cooking time. They are flavorful and easy to throw together for a weeknight meal.


What you need:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon each parsley, oregano basil
  • 1 teaspoon each salt, black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 Tablespoons finely minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 4 Tablespoons whole milk
  • 1.5 - 2 lbs ground beef

What to do:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Mix all of the ingredients, except the ground beef
  • Add the ground beef to the seasoning mixture. 
  • Using your hands gently mix the ground beef into the seasoning mix. Be careful not to over mix
  • Take about two tablespoons of the meat mixture and shape into a ball. Do this until you have shaped all of the meat mixture
  • Place the meatballs on a cookie sheet and place in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through
