Sure, here's a recipe for meatballs!
Difficulty: 5/10
Preparation: 20 minutes
Baking: 20 to 25 minutes
Cost: $10-$15
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, parsley, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Use your hands to form the mixture into 12-16 evenly sized meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
CONSERVATION:
Meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
They can also be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Place the meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container.
ADVICE:
Use lean ground beef for healthier meatballs.
To prevent the meatballs from sticking to the skillet, avoid overcrowding the pan and leave enough space between them.
You can also use a mixture of ground beef and pork for a more flavorful meatball.
For a variation, try adding chopped onions or minced garlic to the meat mixture before forming into balls.
Enjoy the delicious and juicy meatballs straight out of the oven!
