Parsley, parsley, parsley!.

The key to good meatballs is to add parsley!.

Take about a pound of ground beef (make sure it is a good cut of beef with good fat and lean percentages, this is also rather important!. If you need help with that, talk to someone in the meat department at your grocery store) and put in between a tablespoon and a quarter cup of parsley!. Add an egg or two and a half a cup of bread crumbs (this helps the meatballs stick together when you put them in the crock pot!.) Some say add onions, but I don't like the texture of onions in meatballs!. If you want the flavor, add in a half to a whole tablespoon of minced onions!. That way, you get the flavor without having whole chunks of onions in your meatballs!. You add whatever spices you wish after that!. Usually I'll add a dash of salt and pepper and a little Italian seasoning, but sometimes I'll get creative and grab some other spice out of the cupboard! Just remember: a little bit of spice goes a long way!

Mix well, then you take bits of the meat and roll them into balls with both hands!. Make sure that you roll them for long enough, otherwise they'll fall apart!

Now you have two options; you can brown them in a pan, or you can just drop the raw meat into the sauce in a crock pot!. My mother hates the taste of grease, so she usually browns them in a pan, then places them on a paper towel on a plate, and then puts them in the crock pot!. If you choose not to brown them, then just drop the little balls of meat into the sauce and turn the crock pot on!. Keep in mind, however, that if you DON'T brown the meat, then you will need to cook it for longer!. I usually brown the meat (just to hasten the process) around 2:00 in the afternoon, and they're ready for eating around 5:30 to 6:00!. If you don't brown them, you will probably want to put them in around noon or 1!.

also, just a little suggestion, cook up two Italian sausages and cut them up into 4-5 pieces each and throw them in the sauce with the meatballs; this adds a great flavor to the sauce and to the meatballs!Www@FoodAQ@Com

make sure your chopped meat is nice and fresh, add parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, eggs and a little breadcrums, mold in your hand in to a nice round ball!.!.cook in the ovenat 375 for only ten minutes!.!.!.!. on a separate pot heat marinara sauce if you dont know how to make it you can buyit at a italian supermarket or even a pizza place, simmered to a gently boil , then take the meat balls out of the oven and into the marinara sauce for another 10 minutes !.served with pasta or even with a side of toasted italian breab!. enjoy!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

DO NOT BOIL THEM!. They will fall apart!.

When browning them in a skillet, you are basically brownign the outside!. The inside finishes cooking in whatever sauce you have for them!. You are just making a crust so they will hold together!.


This is a great recipe!. You can use jarred sauce if you're in a real hurry!.
