I have to admit that I am really excited about this post.
I’ve been searching for a long time now for the perfect meatball recipe and this one just might be it. Spaghetti and meatballs is definitely up there in my top 10 favorite meals, and it’s my opinion that it’s the meatballs that make or break the dish. Perhaps the most difficult part about trying many different meatball recipes is that I could always tell something was lacking, but could never put my thumb on exactly what it was.
Then, a few days ago I had an epiphany. I finally realized what was lacking in all my attempts to produce the perfect meatball: moisture! I realized that the meatballs that I truly enjoyed were very moist and juicy. So I began my recipe search where I always do – Google. I searched for “moist meatball recipe” or something of that nature, and came across {this} recipe:


- Wonderfully Moist Meatballs
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Bake Time: 20 minutes
- Yields: About 15 Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3/4 cup gluten free bread crumbs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 TBSP parsley
- 1/4 cup Italian cheese blend (Parmesan, Mozzarella, etc)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Mix together all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Roll into balls.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
But all in all these were fantastic! Exactly what I look for in a good meatball. I would imagine that these would be great to make ahead and have in the freezer for a quick addition to plain old spaghetti. Give these a try sometime – you won’t regret it!
