Answer 3

Pretty simple to cook. Here is a quick and easy way.You can adjust the seasonings to taste.

* 1 lb lean ground beef
* 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
* 1/3 cup water (more or less)
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 medium onion
* garlic
* salt
* pepper
Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture should be moist but not so that the meatballs fall apart.
Shape meatballs to desired size and place on a broiler pan (I wet my hands before shaping each meatball and it helps make a nice meatball.) Broil until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn and broil the other side.

Answer 5

My mom makes them with ground beef and pork combined. She also mixes in eggs and italian bread crumbs...some grated parmesean. Then you throw them into sauce and let them cook with the sauce. Break one open to see if it's done. They dont take too long if put in sauce that has already been cooking. maybe 30 min give or take---depending on how many.

They're easy--and fun--to make, but they do take quite a bit of time to cook if you don't want them to dry out and if you want to make sure they're cooked through.
