These oven-baked meatballs are fast and easy to prepare and very kid-friendly. You can serve them with pasta and spaghetti sauce or just eat them with ketchup.
Baked Meatballs win every time in my house, hands down. My boys LOVE them. I have zero meatball memories from when I was growing up. Maybe I just don’t remember but I’m pretty sure my mom didn’t make them. Which is fine, except my husband’s mom did and so meatballs were requested when I was newly married.
I remember the first few times I made meatballs, I cooked them on a skillet. Worst way to cook them. The oil would splatter leaving grease everywhere and you have to brown them in batches which takes FOREVER. Half the time they would fall apart just from being turned and moved constantly. But then I learned that you can bake meatballs in the oven instead! Life. Changing.
Here’s your go-to, foolproof, basic meatball recipe you’ll never want to be without.
You’ll Need:
1 lb of lean ground beef.
2 eggs beaten with ½ cup of milk.
½ cup of grated parmesan cheese.
1 cup of panko or breadcrumbs.
1 small minced garlic.
2 minced cloves of garlic.
½ tsp of oregano.
1 tsp of salt.
Freshly ground pepper.
¼ cup of minced fresh basil.
How to:
There’s nothing easier than this recipe!
Just mix all the ingredients together and form into golfball sized meatballs.
Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven to 350° for 30 minutes and voila!
Simple, easy and delicious! I serve these meatballs with fries and a veggie salad and sometimes over some spaghetti. Give it a shot, you will love it!
