Make the meatballs: Preheat the broiler, mix the chuck, pork, egg, onion, bread crumbs, cheese, thyme, water, salt and pepper with your hands in a bowl. Form the mixture into 24 meatballs.
Spread the oil on a baking sheet; add the meatballs and broil 3 inches from the heat for 7 minutes, rolling a few times, until lightly browned. Turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish and then add the wine.

Pour sauce over the meatballs and bake for 30 min, until the sauce is bubbling. Take out of oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, then serve with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS

Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs image

Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

Time 50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 )
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
**note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
