"This was on a Bobby Flay Throwdown show. I usually get around 28 ping-pong ball sized meatballs out of this, use what I need, and freeze the rest (baked)."

ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
6 ounces dried breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
4 ounces whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
6 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces Spanish onions, grated
2 ounces fresh garlic, finely diced
2 ounces fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet or mini-muffin pans with cooking spray.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose, add more bread crumbs.
Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet or in mini-muffin pans. I find that using the mini-muffin pans helps retain the round shape of the meatball.
Place into preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add to your favorite sauce.
