Italian Meatballs Recipes

Regarding the Italian meatballs, none of the recipes are like the one I learned from my family. My grandparents came from Sicily.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 3 or 4 pieces of bread, broken into small pieces
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. rosemary (crushed)
  • 1 bay leaf (crushed)
  • 1/2 tsp. basil leaf
  • 1/4 tsp. thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. marjoram
  • 1 clove of garlic minced finely

Directions:

Mix everything together and shape into balls and fry. I do not add oil, as the fat in the meat is sufficient. I use a non-stick pan. When they are browned, add to the spaghetti sauce and let them simmer until they are done. You can thank my Italian grandmother. You can add a handful of Parmesan cheese before mixing, for a richer taste.

Servings: 6
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes

This recipe is easy to make, freezes well and is delicious! A fantastic recipe which makes about 48 golf ball sized meatballs. Part of saving money is also in saving time. I make these meatballs when I have a free afternoon and freeze them for future use.

This is my all time favorite! I could eat spaghetti 7 days a week and not get tired of it! This particular recipe is a bit time consuming, but it is SO worth it!
