Looking for a Great Italian Meatball Recipe?
Wrap your lips around this one.
The Best Meatball Recipe
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Ingredients
- 1 pound combined beef, veal, pork (must be fresh)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Romano Locatelli Cheese
- 1 cup bread crumb
- 1 clove garlic - minced
- 1 tablespoon salt
Preparation
(All mixing is done be hand)
In a large bowl mix beef/veal/pork with eggs. Then add bread crumb, cheese, and salt. Finally add minced garlic in stages. Add a little then mix. Add some more, then mix. This way all the garlic does not end up in one meatball. Now, it's time to roll up the balls. Average size is roughly 2 inches in diameter. I usually get around 18 to 20 meatballs per pound.
IMPORTANT! Do not cook meatballs in your pasta sauce! Meatballs cooked in sauce loose their
flavor. The real key to a tasty meatball is cooking the them in an oven. So, heat oven to 375. Place meatballs on a rack - then on a cookie tray.
Bake for 12 minutes on one side then 10 minutes for the other.
I freeze the meatballs in bags and take out what I need per dinner. I just drop the meatballs into the sauce as if heats up.
Buon Appetito!
