No it doesn't take the whole weekend to make! I've combined recipes #173026 and #84957 and modified them so much it's taken a life of it's own... enjoy! Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 lb ground pork (breakfast or mild italian sausage is preferred) |
1 small onion, chopped fine |
2 garlic cloves, minced (more to taste) |
1 egg |
3/4 cup romano cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1/4 teaspoon thyme |
1/4 teaspoon rosemary |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon basil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Generously spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray. I prefer using a sprayed broiling rack so the grease separates from the meatballs.
3. Mix all ingredients; should be 'moist' but not 'sloppy' - add a bit more breadcrumb if necessary.
4. Form into meatballs, about inch and a half across or so
5. Plan ahead! Slightly flatten a dozen meatballs so they don't roll away when you make sandwiches -
6. Place on sprayed sheet or rack close together without touching.
7. Bake 15-20 minutes or until done through.
8. Serve on top of pasta with favorite sauce; they are *awesome* on long rolls with sauce and mozzarella or provolone.
9. * Note: Can substitute some/all Romano cheese for shredded Parmesan cheese.
10. * Number of meatballs and cooking length is dependent on how big you make them.
