Any Good Meatball Recipes?

I'm really bad at making meatballs-they always fall apart. Are there any good traditional recipes. If you have non traditional recipes thats fine too. I want something easy because I'm a beginner. Thanks in advance.Any Good Meatball Recipes?
I am married to an Italian with a huge family and they all agree that the real secret to great meatballs is bread. Not breadcrumbs, whole slices of bread! At least 2 slices per pound of meat. The more bread, the lighter and fluffier the meatballs. Take the bread and put it into a small bowl of water. Mash it down so the bread is soaked. Then grab the bread like a hunk and squeeze the water out. It is not pretty but it makes the yummiest of meatballs. Rips little pieces off the bread and add it to your meat mixture. (ground meat, eggs, spices, etc) Mix it in so it is evenly distributed. Then form your meatballs. Call me when you guests rave! Good Luck!Any Good Meatball Recipes?
Meatballs





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 bullion cubes to the milk and skip the liquid beef broth.





Delicious with cooked pasta or as a meatball sandwich.





陆 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs


陆 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese, finely grated


录 cup whole milk


录 cup low-sodium beef broth


录 cup chopped fresh parsley


1 egg, beaten


1 teaspoon dried oregano


2 teaspoons garlic, minced


2 teaspoons kosher salt


2 teaspoons ground black pepper


1 teaspoon dried basil


陆 teaspoon dried pepper flakes


Pinch nutmeg


1 LB ground turkey or ground meat of your choice





Yield: about 16





Combine all ingredients and stir thoroughly with a fork.


Bake at 450F for 25 minutes or fry as desired.



DIRECTIONS:


Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.


Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold it's shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.


Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)


Place cooked meatballs into Marinara Sauce and cook for 15 more minutes.
