Easy Basic Meatballs

    I've used this recipe since finding it on here almost 10 years ago. This has been my go-to meatball recipe. I always make a double batch. They don't last long! For those curious about oven temp, I've baked these at 375* for 30 minutes, turning them once after 15 minutes. I make them about 1.5 to 1.75 inch I size. I do make a few changes: For the original recipe I add: 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder (or 2-3 fresh cloves, minced), 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (instead of the 1/2 cup called for), and 1/2 tsp of onion powder in place of the fresh onion. Hope everyone loves this recipe as much as we do!

    Easy Basic Meatballs, This is originally from the Betty Crocker cookbook My 3rd and 4th grade daughters are learning to cook and this is simple enough for them, but turns out well enough to serve to guests (When they use this recipe, they usually sub 1/4-1/2 tsp onion powder for the chopped onion ) It’s also a very versatile recipe: sometimes we also add other spices — oregano, basil, thyme for Italian food or cinnamon and mint for Greek food ) We always oven-bake these, though there are also pan-fry and microwave options in the cookbook that we’ve not tried Also good to cook ahead and freeze for later use , I’ve used this recipe since finding it on here almost 10 years ago This has been my go-to meatball recipe I always make a double batch They don’t last long! For those curious about oven temp, I’ve baked these at 375* for 30 minutes, turning them once after 15 minutes I make them about 1 5 to 1 75 inch I size I do make a few changes: For the original recipe I add: 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder (or 2-3 fresh cloves, minced), 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (instead of the 1/2 cup called for), and 1/2 tsp of onion powder in place of the fresh onion Hope everyone loves this recipe as much as we do!, These are so easy to throw together! I followed the recipe exactly except using 1 TB minced onion instead of a reg onion I put them on a cookie sheet into the oven at 400 degrees for 24 minutes and they were delicious on spaghetti I did forget to turn them over half way through and wish I would have, not only to keep them more circular, but to get that crispy brown on both sides We had none left Next time I will definitely make a double batch
