Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs lean ground beef
8 -10 slices white bread broken into small 1/2 inch pieces (or you can use rolls or any
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning (or to taste)
2 teaspoons parsley flakes (or to taste)
1/4 -1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or Locatelli)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/4 -1/2 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients gently in a large bowl until well combined. Roll meatballs 1 1/2- 1 3/4" in diameter. Heat about 1/4" of oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Fry meatballs in oil, rolling frequently, until evenly browned and juices run clear. Drop meatballs in your favorite sauce and let simmer for awhile to flavor sauce or just serve with your favorite pasta and sauce. Tip: You can also bake or broil these if the frying part is too much of a hassle-- I use my broiler pan if I bake them, so the fat drips down and away from the meatballs.

MAMA IULIUCCI'S FAMOUS MEAT-A-BALLS (ITALIAN MEATBALLS)



Mama Iuliucci's Famous Meat-A-Balls (Italian Meatballs) image

Here it is, my mom's FAMOUS Meatball recipe! This is THEE most requested of her for anything, anywhere! Whenever there is a shower, birthday, christening, etc., someone is asking for 150 to 200 of her famous meatballs. :) Of course, she always says yes! She is not one for "exact" measurements (a little of this, a dash of that), so I tried the best I could to adapt her recipe. Of course, these are best served with My Mama Iuliucci's "Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce recipe #26947, but I have used jazzed-up jarred sauce and they are still great. However, meat-a-balls like these deserve a homemade sauce, in my humble opinion!

SICILIAN MEATBALLS



Sicilian Meatballs image

Family recipe that goes way back. My mother said her uncle would always take a little of the meat and fry her a "hamburger" in the skillet as the rest were in the oven. It's a lot of work, but the results are way worth it. If you are going to make this, make a bunch and freeze it!!!! LOL

2 small onions

  • Form balls into the size of golf balls and then dip your hand (or brush) in the oil and then rub it on the balls.

  • I usually add these to my marinara sauce, but you can eat them many other ways as well!

BEST EVER ITALIAN MEATBALLS



Best Ever Italian Meatballs image

This is a recipe I was given from a lady from Italy. She told me that the secret of mouth watering meatballs is not to cook them before adding them to the sauce, as cooking them in the sauce will not only add more flavor to the sauce, but also to the meatballs. What I do is make these a day ahead of time, with my sauce. Then, I refrigerate it over-night, which makes any fat rise to the top and harden, where it is easily removed. This process also allows all of the flavors to "marry" together, making it especially delicious!

Time 1h55m

Yield 16 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons anise seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs.
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering sauce. It is important not to stir the sauce for at least 25 minutes. This will allow the meatballs to firm up enough as not to break up in the sauce. Make sure your burner is low enough so that your sauce does not scorch during this process.
  • Continue simmering until sauce reaches desired consistency and meatballs are cooked through.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS



Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs image

Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

Time 50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 )
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)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
  • Continue 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).
  • After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
  • **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
