Italian Meatballs image

This recipe was passed to me from my late mother-in-law...the VERY first time I met her AND my soon to be husband's extended family. She told me if I was going to marry her son I better learn how to make this recipe real quick...good thing I love to cook huh! It's ALL about the food!

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 lbs ground beef
1 -1 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
6 eggs
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Shape into meatballs a little bigger than a golf ball -- for some reason, Italian meatballs are always huge but they taste so great!
  • Brown in oil or bake in a 350° oven until browned then add to a basil - tomato sauce (your own recipe) or mine when I post it.
  • For a few good variations add: Italian sausage, ribs (mmm).
  • This is not for the calorie-counting/cholesterol-watching crowd!

This recipe was a complete disaster. The meatballs fell apart and the sauce curdled.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The meatballs were dry and the sauce was too sweet.

These meatballs were really hard to roll. I ended up with a lot of misshapen meatballs.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland. I would add more spices next time.

I love how versatile these meatballs are. I've used them in spaghetti and meatballs, meatball subs, and even meatball soup.
