This recipe was passed to me from my late mother-in-law...the VERY first time I met her AND my soon to be husband's extended family. She told me if I was going to marry her son I better learn how to make this recipe real quick...good thing I love to cook huh! It's ALL about the food! Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs ground beef |
1 -1 1/2 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
6 eggs |
2 tablespoons dried basil |
1 pinch salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Shape into meatballs a little bigger than a golf ball - for some reason, Italian meatballs are always huge but they taste so great!
2. Brown in oil or bake in a 350° oven until browned then add to a basil - tomato sauce (your own recipe) or mine when I post it.
3. For a few good variations add: Italian sausage, ribs (mmm).
4. This is not for the calorie-counting/cholesterol-watching crowd!
