I was raised in an Italian family and have searched and searched for the perfect recipe for meatballs and finally found it. The secret to this is the red pepper flakes! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin |
1 large egg, beaten |
1 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1 medium onion, chopped fine |
4 garlic cloves, crushed and minced |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup grated parmigiano or 1/4 cup romano cheese |
coarse salt |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl and punch a well into the center of meat. 2. Fill well with the egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire, parsley, cheese, and a little salt and pepper. 3. Mix up meatball ingredients until well combined, yet not over-mixed. 4. Divide mix into 4 equal parts. 5. Roll each part into 4 balls and space equally onto a nonstick baking sheet. 6. Place meatballs in oven and roast about 12 minutes. 7. Break a meatball open and make sure meat is cooked through before removing from the oven. |
