Description

These are my mother’s meatballs, passed down to me, and now to you! They are Italian meatballs, good by themselves, on a sub, or with pasta. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Hamburger
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cups Breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ cups Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 3 teaspoons Parsley
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Basil

Preparation

Let the hamburger come to almost room temperature, or you’ll freeze your hands off!

Mix all ingredients together. Shape into 1-inch balls (I use a cookie scoop to measure). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

These were great! I was out of bread crumbs, so had to substitute some oatmeal instead, but they still turned out fine.

These were yummy! We made a double batch, and my kids loved mixing and shaping the meatballs. Even Hubs, who is not a big meatball fan, loved these on top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball when somebody… sorry, got a little carried away there!

Bottom line: simple and delicious!

Very easy and they are edible, but they didn’t have much flavor–what flavor there was was mostly salt (I followed the recipe exactly). No one wanted to eat very many of them.

So easy! Very tasty and simple to make, and I love that their flavor doesn’t overpower my sauce. Really, really good! :) Thanks for sharing this!

I needed to use up some ground beef and decided to make these tonight and use later. Little did I know that they’d be soooooo yummy that my teenage son would fill up on them as soon as they popped out of the oven. WONDERFUL!! Can’t wait to see what they taste like with sauce. :) Thanks!
