BEST EVER ITALIAN MEATBALLS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Best Ever Italian Meatballs Recipe - Food.com image

This is a recipe I was given from a lady from Italy. She told me that the secret of mouth watering meatballs is not to cook them before adding them to the sauce, as cooking them in the sauce will not only add more flavor to the sauce, but also to the meatballs. What I do is make these a day ahead of time, with my sauce. Then, I refrigerate it over-night, which makes any fat rise to the top and harden, where it is easily removed. This process also allows all of the flavors to "marry" together, making it especially delicious!

Total Time 1 hours 55 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Yield 16 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 large eggs
1 cup onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons anise seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs.
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering sauce. It is important not to stir the sauce for at least 25 minutes. This will allow the meatballs to firm up enough as not to break up in the sauce. Make sure your burner is low enough so that your sauce does not scorch during this process.
  • Continue simmering until sauce reaches desired consistency and meatballs are cooked through.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c. fresh bread crumbs
1/2 c. milk
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1 c. freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 c. freshly chopped parsley
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 (32-oz.) jar marinara sauce, or homemade marinara

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir bread crumbs with milk until evenly combined. Let sit 15 minutes, or while you prep other ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, use your hands to combine beef, pork, sausage, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then gently stir in bread crumb mixture, eggs, Parmesan, and parsley until just combined. Form mixture into 1" balls.
  • In a large high-sided skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Working in batches, sear meatballs on all sides to develop a crust. Set meatballs aside, reduce heat to medium-low, and add sauce to skillet. Bring sauce to a simmer then immediately add meatballs back to skillet. Cover and simmer until cooked through, about 8 minutes more.

  • *Freezing notes: Open-freeze in the baking dish until solid, but don’t leave it for too long, then cover with a layer of foil, then clingfilm to keep airtight (use clingfilm on its own and you risk taking off the cheesy topping when you remove it), or freeze in individual baking dishes in the same way. The day before you want to bake them, transfer the frozen dish to the fridge. When defrosted, finish the dish as above.
