Homemade Meatballs

"What comes to mind when you think of meatballs? Some might remember as far back as Lady and the Tramp and the romantic scene shared over a plate of meatballs. Or you might think of Subway's pretty decent meatball sub with marinara sauce. Some might even think of trips to Ikea and the inevitable plate of Swedish Meatballs that somehow go hand in hand with buying furniture."

  • Arrange each meatball on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove from oven and place on cooling rack.

  1. for something with a different flavor profile, cut the ground beef to 1 lbs. and add 1 lbs. of Italian sausage.
     
  2. Great and easy recipe. If you want to jazz them up, make a gravy from sauted onion, milk, coffee, and a bit of flour, a dash of nutmeg, salt and pepper. Then you have Swedish meatballs the way I was taught. : )
     
  3. I made these for the first time tonight and my eldest daughter (9) came to me and whispered in my ear "Don't tell Mom but yYour meatballs taste way better than her's". Thank you for a great recipe that makes me look good.
