Any good ideas for making meatballs for spaghetti?!
Answers: Keeping it simple...I can go to the store to get some stuff if you come up with something good. Remember, I am a man, so easier but tastier the better. I have 1 pound of ground beef defrosted and ready to go.
Easy Meatballs
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl combine egg, water, bread crumbs, onion, salt and pepper and combine. Add ground beef, broken into chunks, and mush with your hands to combine. Form into meatballs about 1" in diameter and place on a broiler pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until meatballs are no longer pink in center. Cool and freeze, or use in your favorite meatball recipe.
add 2 eggs, 1 small onion chopped, salt and pepper and 1 pkg of crushed crackers. mix, roll and bake. after you bake them put in sauce that had been warming up. pour over pasta
you're done
What does being a man have to do with your question? Most chefs are men. Anyway, ground beef, garlic, onion, worchestershire sauce, Italian bread crumbs, an egg, oregano, salt, pepper. Form into balls and pan fry, then marry them into your sauce.
1 # GROUND BEEF

Kittencal's Famous Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Parmesan Meatballs
50 min | 20 min prep | 1 1/2 pounds
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs lean beef (or a mixture of beef, pork and veal, I mostly use a mixture of ground beef and pork)
1 large egg , slightly beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese , grated (can use more)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (can use more)
1-2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
1-2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt as I prefer it better than white salt)
1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or
1-2 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
1Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
2Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
3Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
4Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
5After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
6*NOTE* you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
