Sicilian Meatballs image

Family recipe that goes way back. My mother said her uncle would always take a little of the meat and fry her a "hamburger" in the skillet as the rest were in the oven. It's a lot of work, but the results are way worth it. If you are going to make this, make a bunch and freeze it!!!! LOL

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley
4 small garlic cloves
2 small onions
1/8 cup water
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mince or press the garlic, and chop the parsley into fine pieces (or you can cut the measurement and use dried parsley flakes).
  • Grate the onion and place in a bowl.
  • Add all of the ingredients above, except for the olive oil, and mix together in the bowl.
  • Form balls into the size of golf balls and then dip your hand (or brush) in the oil and then rub it on the balls.
  • Place on cookie sheet and brown at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • I usually add these to my marinara sauce, but you can eat them many other ways as well!

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of stale bread in the freezer and this recipe is a great way to use them up.

I made these meatballs ahead of time and froze them. They reheated perfectly in the oven.

I served these meatballs with spaghetti and marinara sauce. They were the perfect comfort food!

I added some grated Parmesan cheese to the meatball mixture and they were even more flavorful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these meatballs with tofu. They were delicious!

I made these meatballs in my air fryer and they turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I accidentally used ground beef instead of ground pork. The meatballs were still good, but they weren't as moist as they would have been with pork.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The meatballs were still very flavorful and delicious.

These meatballs were a little too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more breadcrumbs or milk to the mixture.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and so delicious.

These Sicilian meatballs were a hit at my dinner party! The flavors were amazing and the meatballs were so moist and tender. I will definitely be making these again.
