Mama Maroni'S Meatballs

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chuck
  • 6 ounces dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 ounces whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 ounces romano cheese, grated
  • 3 ounces Spanish onions, grated
  • 2 ounces fresh garlic, finely diced
  • 2 ounces fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet or mini-muffin pans with cooking spray.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose, add more bread crumbs.
  3. Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet or in mini-muffin pans. I find that using the mini-muffin pans helps retain the round shape of the meatball.
  4. Place into preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add to your favorite sauce.
