I love a simple recipe, although I try to convince myself I am a chef. Here’s a simple homemade meatball recipe for easy dinner nights. Both my girls loves these meatballs with any pasta. No one is pasta biased in my house, carbs are good!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion diced small
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
-
Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Prepare a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, egg, spices, onion, and breadcrumbs. Use your hands or a silicone spatula to mix. (I use my hands however I wear gloves I find it’s easier to roll and less messy)
-
Roll the meatball mixture into 2-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on your prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through.
-
Serve with your favorite sauce over pasta or alone. We love Mezzetta brand pasta sauce
