Craving some tender and juicy meatballs?? Give this recipe a try! The two secrets are the extra eggs, and cooking the meatballs in the sauce, instead of pre-baking or frying them. Ground chuck or a 50/50 mix of chuck and sirloin work best for full flavor and moistness. Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef |
3/4 cup italian style breadcrumbs |
1/3 cup parmesan cheese or 1/3 cup romano cheese, grated |
3 eggs |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 cup red wine |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
6 -8 cups tomato sauce or 6 -8 cups your favorite spaghetti sauce |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, garlic, pepper, salt, and wine. Mix well.
2. Shape mixture into 1-1/2 or 2 meatballs.
3. In a large pot, bring sauce to a boil. Add meatballs one at a time, and simmer over medium-low heat for 40-45 minutes.
4. Serve over pasta, or on hoagie buns for meatball subs.
