MEATBALL DINNER RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together the egg and 1/2 cup milk, pour over the torn up bread in bowl. Then add the hamburger, onions, dried mustard, celery salt, nutmeg, salt and pepper; mix till well combined. Shape into golf ball size meatballs. Dust meatballs lightly in flour. Brown meatballs in about 2 tablespoons Crisco till nicely browned (about10-15 minutes); set aside. In same pan add the 3/4 cup milk with the cream of mushroom soup, cook till smooth and bubbling, stirring constantly. Then add in frozen veggies such as peas and carrots, or whatever you like. Then either add meatballs back into sauce or serve separately for people who don't want sauce. Serve with either boiled potatoes or rice. (may double the sauce recipe if desired).

Steps:

• Place rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°. Lightly brush a large rimmed baking sheet with oil. Using a sturdy wooden spoon, vigorously stir eggs, panko, milk, salt, garlic powder, oregano, several cranks of pepper, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl until nearly a smooth paste. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. Mix in one-quarter of meat (combining just a small amount of meat first makes it easier to incorporate the rest without overmixing). Add remaining meat and mix well to thoroughly combine, but don’t overwork it. Using oiled hands, form into 8 large meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake meatballs until well-browned underneath, about 15 minutes. Using a stiff metal spatula, pry up and turn over meatballs (they may want to stick a bit). Bake until browned on second side and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each one registers 160°, 5–7 minutes.
• Divide meatballs among plates and spoon some sauce over. Top with basil and more Parmesan. Editor’s note: This recipe was originally published in our September 2020 issue as ‘Weeknight Meatballs’ and has been updated to reflect a weight measurement for the breadcrumbs, as well as an increase in the amount of Parmesan and the addition of oregano.
