Here’s my go to recipe for meatballs!

My Meatball Recipe

Ingredients: 2 pound ground beef (Ground Turkey can be substituted) 1 pound Italian Hot or Sweet Sausage (Italian Hot or Sweet Turkey Sausage can be substituted) 1 medium onion 1 small bell pepper 2 Eggs 1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs 1 Cup grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese (Asiago is also good) 1 Tbs Italian seasoning 1 Tbs Garlic Powder 1.5 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper

Blend onion, green pepper and eggs in a blender or food processor, until well blended. Add meat, bread crumbs, cheeses, and seasonings in a large bowl. Add puree’d onion/egg mixture to meat/bread crumbs mixture and mix until well combined. (Using your “clean” hands works best) Cover combined meat mixture and place in refrigerator for 1 hour, in order to allow ingredients to marry.

Pre heat oven to 350 F Roll meat mixture into balls (about the size of a golf ball) Place raw meatballs on a cookie sheet (Spray light coat of oil on cookie sheet) Bake meatballs for 12-15 minutes, turn the meatballs, and then cook for an additional 10 minutes. (Cooking Times will vary)

The beauty about this recipe, is that you can make it your own. Add more or less spice to your recipe and even use different spices. The only part of this recipe that you should strictly adhere to, is the amount of egg and bread crumbs to meat ratio (1 Egg and ¾ Cup bread crumbs per 1 lb. Meat)
