With their amazing flavor, they are sure to impress anyone, and they are great for eating for a casual dinner or to make on any special occasion. If you’re feeding a large crowd, make sure to make a lot because these are going to disappear.

I usually bake these in the oven, but you can also simmer them in pasta sauce for about 40 minutes and you will be amazed at the perfect texture it gives them. These meatballs can also be pre-made and then frozen, so you can just pull them out of the freezer and cook them whenever you like.

They go great with noodles and pasta sauce topped with mozzarella or parmesan cheese. Enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 grams of beef or pork mince (you can mix)
  • 1/4 cup crushed parmesan cheese
  • 1 chicken egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons salt (can be less)

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (oregano)
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients in one large bowl.
  2. Mold small meatballs from the mixture. If you are not going to cook them right now, put them in the freezer to cook later.
  3. Preheat your oven to 175 ° C and place the meatballs on a baking sheet (I used the pizza shape as a baking tray).
  4. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Too much salt ... Mine only took 13 minutes to bake. If I left them in for 25 minutes they would be totally dried out and overcooked

I made these for the first time tonight. They are delicious! Even my picky 3 year old ate 2 of them (I made them about the size of half dollars).

I love the recipe, and have shared it with fiends.

I recently used 1 lb 85% ground beef & 1 lb ground pork, bumped the other ingredients by 1/3. Very little grease, about 2-3 TBLS total.
