AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS



Authentic Italian Meatballs image

Meatball recipes are often challenged by chefs who claim, "Mine are the best!" Even though my meatballs ARE the best, I will make no such claim. Try them for yourself! This meatball recipe was given to me by my father who got it from a little old lady from Italy that he knew. It's amazing that she gave up her recipe to him, but I sure am glad she did!

Categories     Meat

Time 3h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup grated locatelli cheese

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
  • Use your bare hands for best results.
  • Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. (wet your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to them while rolling the meat balls).
  • Drop raw meatballs into large (I use a stock pot) pot of sauce.
  • (I have an incredible sauce recipe {#92096} I use for my meatballs).
  • Simmer for about 3 hours.

CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS



Chef John's Italian Meatballs image

Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.
