This is our recipe for meatballs. We always made them when making Pasta Sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (lean)
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Bread Crumbs (Italian style, fine)
- 1/8 cup Romano Cheese (grated)
- pinch Parsley (or 1 sprig finely chopped if fresh)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
- for frying Olive Oil
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1:
Place the ground beef, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic, eggs, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands. Cover and let stand in refrigerator for 20 to 60 minutes. (pictures shown are of a double batch)
Step 2:
Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls and then flatten slightly. Moisten hands periodically with water to prevent meat mixture from sticking to hands. Fry in olive oil, turning to brown on all sides.
Yield: 10 to 15 meat balls. Meat balls may be frozen individually and placed in a plastic container or bag in freezer for 6 months or more. May be heated in oven or microwave and eaten as is or may be added to meat sauce for pasta with meat balls.
