Yield Makes about 1 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
4 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup dried plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, for frying
1 pound cooked spaghetti, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent. Using your hands, crush tomatoes and add to saucepan, along with their juices; stir to combine. Add bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Cover, bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer.
  • Make the meatballs: Place beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix together by hand to combine. Wet hands with cold water and roll meat mixture into 1 3/4-inch balls.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, place meatballs in skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, but not cooked through. Transfer meatballs to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer meatballs to sauce and gently stir from the bottom up to coat with sauce. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and reduce heat. Continue cooking, stirring every 15 minutes, for 3 hours more. Serve with spaghetti, sprinkled with more cheese, if desired.

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!

Time 30m

Yield 36 meatballs

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 stale bread you have and want to use up)
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 (for frying) or vegetable oil (for frying)

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 (I highly recommend My Mama Iuliucci's"Don't Skip a Step" Spaghetti Sauce recipe#26947) 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 MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND SAUCE



Mama Maroni's Meatballs and Sauce image

From "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". My boyfriend Loves this dish, he say's that they are the best meatballs he has ever eaten. They are great served with spaghetti or especially good served in a toasted hoagie roll with a little melted cheese on top. The sauce is thick and full of flavor. Be sure to use good quality "Crushed" tomatoes, not diced or stewed etc. It's key to the sauce coming out perfectly. I add a little red pepper flakes for a little more kick. Also, the original recipe doesn't mention adding salt to the meat mixture, but it is needed in my opinion. These are super easy and so, so good!

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground chuck
4 ounces dried breadcrumbs
4 large eggs
4 ounces whole milk
6 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces Spanish onions, grated or minced
2 ounces garlic, minced
2 ounces fresh Italian parsley
2 ounces fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper
6 ounces olive oil, good quality, not extra virgin
12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or minced
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Mix together all meatball ingredients. If mixture seems too loose, add more breadcrumbs. (Mixture will be very moist.).
  • Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Roll meatballs into golfball sized balls.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • While meatballs are baking, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Saute onions until soft. Add garlic and saute until onions start to brown.
  • Add Tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add some red pepper flakes if desired. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings.
  • Stir in basil.
  • I like to add the meatballs to the finished sauce so that the flavors can meld.
  • If you are using the meatballs only for sandwiches, you can halve the sauce recipe, but if you want sauce for pasta, use full recipe.

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).

Time 55m

Yield 24-28 meatballs, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 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.
