Ingredients
- 1 lbs ground beef
- 1 lb ground italian sausage
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In large bowl add your ground beef, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic, milk, italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.
- Using your hand or a spoon mix it all together gently just until it is combined, you don’t want to over mix.
- Using an ice cream scoop or your hands portion your meat mixture out into 15 equally sized meatballs and place in 9"x13" baking dish, bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top with 4 cups of spaghetti sauce and one cup of cheese.
- Place back in oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes until meatballs reach internal temperature of 160 degrees F and cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
- Use the leanest beef you can find, this will produce the less amount of grease possible.
- You can use a mixture of ground beef and Italian sausage like we do or you can use all ground beef.
- Do not overtax the meatball mixture, this will cause it to get tough.
- We use canned sauce for this recipe, you can use your own homemade but you will need 4 cups to bake these meatballs in.
- We top our meatballs with shredded parmesan, feel free to switch it up with italian blend or parmesan.
