This Easy Baked Meatballs Recipe makes delicious, flavor packed meatballs, done in 30 minutes and can be used in tons of dinner ideas!
Homemade meatballs are always a hit in my house. We will eat them on meatball subs, with sauce and pasta, or on their own! My husband is Italian and he grew up with his mom’s meatballs. So when we got married he showed me how to make them like she does, and I’ve made a few tweaks over the years, but ultimately they’re her recipe.
Description:
Oven Baked Meatballs are a quick and easy dinner starter! Have them alone, or on a meatball sub or a plate of pasta, the options are endless!
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds Meatloaf Mix (or lean ground beef)
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup grated yellow onion (about 1/2 a medium)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, onion, parsley, and red pepper. Use your hands to combine all ingredients evenly. Try not to over-mix the meat, as the meatballs can get dense.
- Using a medium (2-tablespoon) scoop portion out the mixture and roll into balls. Place evenly on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
