Le Polpette di carne di Itallian deliziose

The Ingredients needed to make the most Delicious Italian Meatballs:
  • 1 pound fresh ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat oven at 350 degrees

  1. Lightly beat egg
  2. Add breadcrumbs, onion, cheese and spices
  3. Add meat (make sure you really mix the meat in well, because tasting a clump of the spices unbounded in a meatball is quite overwhelming)
  4. Form into 1-inch balls
  5. Bake 15 - 20 minutes on a baking sheet (I cover mine with aluminum foil to help with clean-up & aluminum foil is recyclable!)
  6. Remove from sheet and marinade in pasta sauce. I generally dump pasta sauce in my crock pot and let them simmer all day.

Making these meatballs is scarily simple and they are truly the most marvelous meatballs I've ever eaten... coming from a person who is not a big meat eater anyways. This would be the perfect opportunity to make Sondra's pasta sauce to go along with the meatballs!

Everything all mixed together:

And then I forgot to take any more pictures!

Bon Appetite!
