Merri made meatballs!
These came out wonderfully. They are tender and full of flavor. Now I need to decide on how to use them! Meatball subs? Spaghetti and Meatballs? Just heated up and on their own?
Merri’s Meatballs
1 1b lean ground beef
1/2 1b (or a little more) ground pork
3 slices soft white bread
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1-2 cups finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup dried Parsley
1 1/2 Tablespoons dried Oregano
3/4 Tablespoons dried Basil
Garlic Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Slice the crusts off the white bread and cut into cubes. Pour the milk over the bread and let it sit while mixing the other ingredients
Mix the meat, eggs, parmesan, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic salt and black pepper in a large bowl.
Mash the bread cubes with a fork, then add the bread and milk mixture to the meat mixture and mix well.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a 1 1/2 inch scoop to make equal measures for the meatballs. Gently shape the balls into even shapes, and place on the parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake the meatballs for 10 minutes, then turn and bake 10 minutes more. Test for doneness and bake longer if necessary. Be sure not to overbake or they will become tough.
