This meatball recipe is delicious with a marinara(tomato) sauce, a rich beef gravy or a sweet jelly sauce.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 lbs. lean ground beef or any blend of meats that you prefer
Note: Turkey meatballs are great with a sauce prepared with cranberry jelly + grape jelly + a splash of Sherry OR pineapple juice, all combined. Yummmmmmy :D
2/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1-1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 medium onion, finely chopped or grated
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsps. milk + a dash or 2 of hot sauce
1 egg, beaten
salt and pepper
Method:
Mix all ingredients together and shape into walnut size balls.
Brown meatballs by placing in a shallow baking dish and baking at 375º for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned.
Add hot meatballs to your favourite tomato sauce and let simmer.
Note: I put the cooked meatballs in a crockpot on LOW with the sauce, a couple of hours before company arrives. Remove meatballs and place them in a chafing dish or in a heat proof serving dish on a warming tray.
Have toothpicks handy with tidbit sized pieces of pineapple.
This recipe can be doubled and when meatballs have cooled can be frozen in batches.
They are sooooooo much tastier and healthier than store bought.
