Weeknight whip-up, dinner party dish, foolproof kids' meal - is there anything meatballs can't do?

Provided by Nadia Lim

Categories     Lunch     Main

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup milk
1 egg
500 g premium beef mince
1 onion (finely diced)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon beef stock powder
1 tablespoon herbs (freshly chopped, plus extra to garnish)
2-3 tablespoons rice bran oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine breadcrumbs and milk and leave to swell.
  • Lightly beat the egg until liquid.
  • Combine the mince, onion and garlic and mix well.
  • Add the breadcrumb mix and beaten egg to the mince. Add the stock powder and chopped fresh herbs. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  • Roll mixture into even-sized balls (makes about 24). Cover and chill until ready to cook.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook meatballs on all sides over a medium-low heat until cooked through and golden brown. You may have to do this in batches.
  • Grind over some pepper, garnish with herbs and serve. They're great in tacos, wraps or in a sub.

EASY MEATBALLS

My husband makes these easy meatballs with simple ingredients like eggs, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh basil, and they come out flavorful and delicious every time! Kids love them too! If desired, add the cooked meatballs to your favorite sauce until submerged (this brings out the moistness).

EASY BASIC MEATBALLS



Easy Basic Meatballs image

This is originally from the Betty Crocker cookbook. My 3rd and 4th grade daughters are learning to cook and this is simple enough for them, but turns out well enough to serve to guests. (When they use this recipe, they usually sub 1/4-1/2 tsp onion powder for the chopped onion.) It's also a very versatile recipe: sometimes we also add other spices -- oregano, basil, thyme for Italian food or cinnamon and mint for Greek food.) We always oven-bake these, though there are also pan-fry and microwave options in the cookbook that we've not tried. Also good to cook ahead and freeze for later use.

Time 25m

Yield 24 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef (we also use ground turkey)
1/2-2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs (can also use seasoned crumbs)
1/4 cup milk
1/4-3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, chopped (approx 1/4 c)
1 egg

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and shape into 20-24 meatballs (1 to 1-1/2 inches each).
  • To oven bake: preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place in ungreased 9x13 pan (you may want to line it with foil for easier clean-up).
  • Bake 20-25 min or until light brown and cooked through; turn meatballs halfway through, if desired, to help maintain a round shape.
  • To pan fry: Cook in skillet on medium heat, turning as needed, until brown (approx 20 min).
  • To microwave: Place in micro-proof 12x7 pan and cover loosely.
  • Micro on high for 3 minutes; rearrange meatballs.
  • Cover again loosely and micro until brown inside, approx 5-7 min more.
  • Let stand covered for 3 minutes.
