Description

Oven Baked Meatballs are a fast and simple dinner starter! Have them alone, or on a meatball sub or a plate of pasta, the options are endless!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Meatloaf Mix (or lean ground beef)
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated yellow onion (about 1/2 a medium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine the meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, onion, parsley, and red pepper. Use your hands to combine all ingredients evenly. Try not to  over-mix the meat, as the meatballs can get dense.
  3. Using a medium (2-tablespoon) scoop portion out the mixture and roll into balls. Place evenly on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
