Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground beef

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of meatball. Ground beef is the most common meat used for meatballs, but you can also use ground pork, lamb, turkey, or chicken. If you're using a leaner meat, like turkey or chicken, add some bread crumbs or oats to help keep the meatballs moist.
  • Season your meatballs well. A good starting point is 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder per pound of meat. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform balls. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality Coca-Cola. A cheap, generic cola will not produce the same results.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Coca-Cola meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Coca-Cola meatballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
