While this recipe calls for a mixture of meats, such as veal, pork, and beef, I’ve also seen great meatballs that use turkey with any of those – and it also helps cut down on the calories a bit. But you could also simply go with all beef if that’s what you have on hand. I like that this recipe can be tweaked here and there depending on what you’ve got in the pantry, and it will still come out delicious. I’ve made this twice now, and both times my family was disappointed that there were no leftovers. Thanks again to Hugs and Cookies XOXO for this wonderful meatball recipe.

 

Ingredients

1½ pounds of your favorite meatloaf meats mixed (veal, pork, beef)

4 cloves garlic-roughly chopped, not minced

a handful of chopped parsley

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

salt to taste

Sauce of your choice (approx. two 24-oz jars)

Mozzarella cheese to top it off with!

 

Instructions

Mix all of the above meatball ingredients and form your meatballs-not too large.

Pour 1-2 Tablespoons oil on a baking stone or pan with sides and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Lower oven to 375.

Pour some sauce in the bottom of your 9×13 dish.

Lay meatballs on top of the sauce. Cover with more sauce and dress the top up with lots of mozzarella! It should be covered with cheese!!!

Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins.

Remove foil and bake an additional 20 mins or until meatballs are cooked through and cheese is browning.
