HOW TO MAKE THE BEST TASTING MEATBALLS?

Favorite Answer

This is an original Sizilian Metaball recipe:

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 teaspoon salt

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 garlic, then mix. Add some more, then mix. This way all the garlic does not end up in one meatball. Roll up the balls. Average size is roughly 2 inches in diameter. I usually get around 18 to 20 meatballs per pound.

Or these Italian Meatballs are delicious:

1 pound lean or extra-lean ground beef
1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage (or remove from casings)
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
3 medium cloves garlic
1 scant teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large egg
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Line a large shallow baking pan with foil; oil lightly. Combine all ingredients, using just enough water to moisten. Shape into meatballs, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
Broil the meatballs about 8 inches from the heat source for about 10 minutes. Turn and broil for 10 minutes longer.

Put the meatballs in a large saucepan and cover with your favorite pasta sauce, homemade or purchased. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes....Show more

If you don't want a cheese taste [and a lot of people don't] then, just place your ground beef into a bowl, add some finely chopped onions [you can use frozen from the supermarket if you like,,,,I find these very handy] finely chop some celery, add these to the mince. Add some worstershire sauce [brown sauce] some tomato sauce, salt and pepper, 1 egg [depending how much you are making, you may need more than 1 egg] add some mixed dried herbs, and mix by hand - if the mixture is too dry then add another egg, if it is too liquid then add some dried breadcumbs This also applies for hamburger patties. Shape as you would like and roll in flour, then shallow fry in good olive oil. Hope this helps Cheers Val...Show more
