Poll.....what is a good meatball recipe?

Answer 1

My personal meatball and sauce recipe... These stay moist and freeze well. My favorite use for these is meatball subs, but they work well for any recipe requiring meatballs or with spaghetti! I add extra flavor to premade sauce in this recipe, but when I have the time I like to make my own sauce. I also prefer making my own bread crumbs for the meatballs as opposed to using store bought bread crumbs. Moistening the bread crumbs with the water prior to mixing with the rest of the meat mixture and using freshly grated onion are both good tips to really moist, flavorful meatballs.

2 slices whole wheat bread, coarsely grated
2 tablespoons water
1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1-2 tablespoon fresh onions, grated
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce:
13 ounces italian pasta sauce (1/2 of a large can)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
Meatballs: Combine bread crumbs and water to moisten. Add beef, cheese, egg white, oregano, onion, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix by hand until just completely combined, but do not overmix. Shape into 26 meatballs and place in foil lined, greased baking dish. Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes or until completely cooked through. Sauce: While meatballs are cooking, combine sauce, black pepper, cayenne, salt, and thyme in saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat. As soon as meatballs are done cooking turn oven onto broil. Pat off extra grease from outside of each meatball and place into saucepan with sauce. Stir and cover each meatball completely with sauce. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
