Yield Makes about 75

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups coarsely torn white sandwich bread (from 2-3 slices)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 lb. ground beef
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
4 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan
2 tsp. kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil (for greasing)

Steps:

  • Place bread in a large bowl, pour milk over, and let sit until moistened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze bread with your hands to remove excess milk; discard milk. Tear bread into pea-size pieces and return to bowl.
  • Add beef, sausage, eggs, Parmesan, and salt to bread. Using your hands, gently mix until evenly distributed (do not overmix).
  • To serve immediately:
  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 500°F. Lightly coat three 18x13" rimmed baking sheets with oil. Fill a small bowl with cool water. Moisten your hands and roll meat mixture between palms into ping pong-size balls (about 1.5" diameter; 1.2 oz. each), occasionally moistening hands as needed. Arrange meatballs 1/2" apart on prepared sheets.
  • Roast meatballs, rotating racks top to bottom once halfway through, until lightly browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
  • To freeze to serve later:
  • Line two 18x13" rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Fill a small bowl with cool water. Moisten your hands and roll meat mixture between palms into ping pong-size balls (about 1.5" diameter; 1.2 oz. each), occasionally moistening hands as needed. Arrange meatballs 1/4" apart on prepared sheets. Freeze on sheets until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 3 months.
  • To cook meatballs from frozen, preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Transfer desired amount of frozen meatballs to prepared sheet and roast, turning once halfway through, until lightly browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Cheesy Meatball Bake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: ground beef, hot italian sausage, garlic, fresh parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, italian bread crumbs, eggs, milk, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese

Provided by Hector Gomez

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
1 lb hot italian sausage
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 cup milk
24 oz marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, eggs, and milk. Mix until everything is fully infused together.
  • Roll into 4-5 ounce (113-142 g) meatballs. For even amounts, use a medium-sized ice cream scooper.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan, and brown the meatballs on both sides for about 2-3 minutes or until you create a nice crispy sear. Cook about half way through. They will finish cooking in the oven.
  • In a casserole dish, spread a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan to help prevent sticking. Then place meatballs in the casserole dish and add the remaining jar of marinara sauce. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover in foil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the meatballs are fully cooked.
  • Serve and garnish with parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose flavorful ground meat: Beef, pork, or a combination of both works well in this recipe. Look for ground meat with at least 15% fat content for juicier meatballs.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs help to keep the meatballs light and airy. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs will give you a better result.
  • Season the meatballs well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices of your choice. This will help to flavor the meatballs throughout.
  • Brown the meatballs before baking them: Browning the meatballs in a skillet before baking them helps to develop their flavor and gives them a nice crust.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really brings these meatballs together. Use a flavorful tomato sauce or gravy, and add some fresh herbs or spices to taste.
  • Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot, so make sure to serve them immediately after they are baked.

Conclusion:

These Shred's Awesome Autumn Baked Meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
