I really want to make meatballs to go with my spaghetti tonight but my oven doesn't work but I do have a working stove top.Do you know a meatball recipe without using an oven?
You can fry your meatballs, just use low heat, and cover the pan. Turn them regularly, so as to not burn any single area. After your done cooking them, use paper towels to absorb some of the grease.Do you know a meatball recipe without using an oven?
All done on the stove top!!!





REAL MEATBALLS %26amp; SPAGHETTI





For the meatballs:


1/2 pound ground veal


1/2 pound ground pork


1 pound ground beef


1 cup fresh white bread crumbs (4 slices, crusts removed)


1/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs


2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


2 teaspoons kosher salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg


1 extra-large egg, beaten


Vegetable oil


Olive oil





For the sauce:


1 tablespoon good olive oil


1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 onion)


1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic


1/2 cup good red wine, such as Chianti


1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or plum tomatoes in puree, chopped


1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


For serving:


1½ lbs. spaghetti, cooked according to package directions


Freshly grated Parmesan





Place the ground meats, both bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg, and 3/4 cup warm water in a bowl. Combine very lightly with a fork. Using your hands, lightly form the mixture into 2-inch meatballs. You will have 14 to 16 meatballs.





Pour equal amounts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large (12-inch) skillet to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil. Very carefully, in batches, place the meatballs in the oil and brown them well on all sides over medium-low heat, turning carefully with a spatula or a fork. This should take about 10 minutes for each batch. Don't crowd the meatballs. Remove the meatballs to a plate covered with paper towels. Discard the oil but don't clean the pan.





For the sauce, heat the olive oil in the same pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper.





Return the meatballs to the sauce, cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Serve hot on cooked spaghetti and pass the grated Parmesan.

I usually fry meatballs in a large frying pan with olive oil. Heat oil on medium flame, add meatballs (do not crowd), continue frying for a few minutes until a nice brown crust forms. Turn to other side. You are not looking to cook the meatballs all the way through as they will continue cooking in your tomato sauce. My friend brings her tomato sauce to a gentle boil and adds the meatballs directly without cooking before hand. If you do this, allow the meatballs to cook a bit before stirring your sauce-and when you do stir, do it very gently. Good luck!
cook them in the sauce the flavor of the sauce goes through .the meatballs plus the juices from the meatballs goes through the sauce.almost any leftover meat in frig put that in to.
You can make them in a crock pot if you have one of those. You put the meatballs and a ton of spaghetti sauce in it and simmer for 4-6 hours.
I make my meatballs and I just cook them in the boiling spaghetti sauce. Works great, no browning them or anything. They probably have to cook around 25 minutes in the sauce. Yum, sounds pretty good!
You can either cook them in the sauce for around 4 hours or fry them in a pan and then cook them in the sauce for 30 minutes
Most people actually make them in a big frying pan ir skillet on the stove. Just keep turning them over as they brown.....
just put them on the stove and keep turning them till they get brown
