Hi there
Doing your recipe tonight.
I diced up garlic and onion then put them in my Lil’Oscar food processor.
Then, I blended in the milk and egg with other wet ingredients.
I put the breadcrumbs, Romano and Parmesano and mixed well.
Added wet and dry ingredients together, mix well.
Then added meats, so I don’t overwork..
The only addition I made was 1/4 tsp pepper.
FYI, I use food service gloves for everything I do in the kitchen.
I baked them at 375, I preheated my oven at 400 while I’m prepping.
It was great,
They turned out soft/juicy but stayed together. The flavor was very well balanced. I counted out 60, 1 1/4” balls for more people and children. I would make larger ones, 2 1/2” for just myself and family.
It made my meal a big hit!
Thanks!

4th time in one month I have made these meatballs. I will never lose this Delicious recipe. After all these years just dropped in sauce to cook slowly. But, just mix and roll and let the oven do the rest! SO moist and tasty 😋 Thank you lots and so glad I found you.

My Italian Grandmother's recipe for Meatballs (the worlds bast) was very close to this recipe. The only difference was she would grind beef, veal and pork simultaneously. Thank you for this recipe.

12/20/22: Hi Christina. I tried this recipe today and OMG, they came out wonderful, tasty and moist. The only thing I did different was to add green bell peppers, finely chopped in my food processor. I LOVE bell peppers in my beef so I couldn't resist. I couldn't find the veal (hard to find where I live), so I just used hot Italian sausages (nice kick) and beef. Nevertheless, thank you for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper and I intend to pass it on to those I know love to cook. Trust me, they're gonna love it too! Love your channel, I see that you've done some things, and I am newly subscribed. Happy Holidays!

Hi, these sound and look fantastic! I wanted to try them in the air fryer, but on the website it says "here's a great tutorial"... but I couldn't find one. Do you have a link to it? Thank you so much for all you do, and I love your site. This is my first time here too by the way! I've hit the jackpot finding you

I am looking for the temperture for the meat balls and how long in the oven?

[JenniferZhang-vnoh]

Is there any other ingredients that I can use to replace bread crumbs? I understand it would make the meat balls more soft but try to avoid carbohydrates as much as possible.

First time I’ve seen a recipe with milk like my great grandmother etc made meatballs then baked in the oven!
Kudos

Who is trying to make the meatballs in a hurry because the temperature and the time was not sad. That made it much more difficult for me. Sorry I’m a novice at using YouTube so I don’t know where to go and I don’t want to print something out so I had to go somewhere else.

3:43 how long can you freeze them for?

I make my Panade with Left over bread and milk - and IF the meatballs are to be put into a Gravy, My italian Neighbor always put a couple or more of Tomato Paste in the mixture and that really brings out the Gravy Flavor. Real Italians call their Tomato Sauces Gravy. I too however use a food processor to grind up the Onion, mix the panade, and even add in the Garlic. In fact, I generally put ALL the ingredients except the meat in the food processor and then add them to the meat not in the processor. I found that the Ground Pork is the need here - you really cannot use all beef and get the same outcome. Hint - if you make Swedish meatballs - although the spices are different, I make the whole thing in the food processor including adding the meat - it make the little balls softer.
