I’m not sure how to start this post except to say that you need to try these meatballs. Don’t wait. Do it now because they are amazing, way easier to make than you think, and you can eat them plain, with spaghetti, or in a delicious sub. If there’s one thing my family does well, it’s Italian meatballs and homemade sauce. Okay so that’s two things, but you’ll forgive me once you try this pairing.
Gather up your ingredients, set aside about 45 minutes of time (so definitely enough time for two episodes of Friends or Parks and Rec), and get cooking! I recommend using at least 90/10 ground beef so the meatballs aren’t super fatty or shrink a ton while their in the oven. You can also keep them warm in a crock-pot with some sauce if you need a little time in between prep and sit-down time.
Oh and it wouldn’t hurt to pop open a bottle of wine, either.
Once they’re ready, you can eat them paired with just sauce, in a sub, or over pasta. Buon appetito!
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbs minced garlic
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then combine all of your ingredients in a large bowl. Be sure to mix well!
- Roll the mixture into 1.5" meatballs and place on the baking sheet at least a half an inch apart.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve alone, over pasta, or even in a sub! We highly recommend serving these meatballs with our Tomato Basil Sauce.
