What is your favorite Meatball Recipe?

I make all my ground meat using a pretty free hand. But I have gotten a lot of fond compliments on ones I make pretty close to this:





1lb ground meat (Some people suggest going like half pork/half beef or half turkey half sausage or all turkey or all beef, I personally am fond of lean beef)


1 1/2 teaspoons of basil (or the proportional amount fresh is ideal)


a heaping teaspoon of italian seasoning herb mix


tablespoon or two of tomato paste (can be optional)


a 1/2 c to 2/3 c of Parmesan breadcrumbs


an egg


a couple tablespoons of oats


salt to taste


pepper to taste


2 cloves garlic minced


1/2 a small onion, minced


1/2 green pepper diced finely (opt)


3 or so Tablespoons minced canned or fresh mushrooms (opt)


if using a lean meat add 1 tablespoon olive oil (opt)





Mix ingredients, allow to sit in fridge for an hour.


Preheat oven to 350


Form into balls of desired size, a dozen or so is pretty standard. 24 for small meat balls


Place in a baking dish, cover with foil


Place in oven for 15 minutes


Remove foil, turn and replace uncovered in oven for 5-10 minutes (or until cooked thoroughly)





Eat over pasta tossed with sauce, or in a sandwich with mozza or provalone or slice and top a pizza with them (use extra sauce and put under the cheese for yummiest results)

Swedish Meatballs

A pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt


3/4 pound ground chuck


3/4 pound ground pork


2 large egg yolks


1/2 teaspoon black pepper


1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with the milk. Set aside.


In a 12-inch straight sided saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until the onions are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.


In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the bread and milk mixture, ground chuck, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and onions. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes.


Heat the remaining butter in the saute pan over medium-low heat, or in an electric skillet set to 250 degrees F. Add the meatballs and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes.

2 tablespoons olive oil


1 (20 ounce) package ground beef


1 egg, beaten


1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs


1 tablespoon garlic powder


1 tablespoon onion flakes





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).





Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the olive oil, and place it in the oven while preheating.





In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, onion flakes and bread crumbs using your hands. Using an ice cream scoop if possible, form the meat into golf ball sized meatballs. Place about 1 inch apart in the hot baking dish. Press down to flatten the bottom just slightly.





Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn them over, and continue baking for about 5 more minutes, or until somewhat crispy on the outside. Serve with pasta and sauce or however you'd like

Bake in 400潞 over for 20-25 minutes. *Mine always take 22 minutes in my oven.


If they are still just a little pink inside, it's ok if they are to simmer in a sauce, otherwise bake til done.


Simmer in spaghetti sauce on low for 5-10 minutes
I know this sounds like a lot of work but it makes about 16 meatballs and they have this complex, fantastic taste. These freeze and thaw beautifully, although they rarely stay in my freezer more than 2 weeks. If you like, add beef buillion cubes to the milk and skip the liquid beef broth.
