Tell me about your meatballs

[goofy's friends]

My DH just said he wasn't sure he liked me talking about meatballs with a bunch of strangers

I don't usually discuss how I like my meatballs until someone buys me dinner first

I pre cook my meatballs unless I'm making escarole soup. For that you just make tiny meatballs that you just drop in the soup. But for regular meatballs I cook them very well, we like them crusty on the outside and soft on the inside (please no wisecracks ). OK I start with chopped meat and add stale bread that has been soaked in water (with crust peeled off), eggs, parsley, garlic (minced and cooked in a little olive oil), grated cheese, and parsley. Cook them on the stove in olive oil till well done! I'm making them tomorrow night with sauce and braciole and some kind of pasta. I get hungry just thinking about it!!

Wow will you adopt me? escarole, braciole, I'm drooling here.


My meatballs are made with beef and turkey mixed with eggs, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano and I also use some wet white bread. yummy in my tummy

OP, cute pooch, he/she looks like ours.

I precook in a 350 degree oven. They cook in my homemade sauce for at least 2 hours.

I use ground beef. I like the ground beef from Costco, it's 81% lean & not expensive. Of course, you have to get 6 lbs at a time, but I use at least 3 lbs since I like to make a big pot of sauce & just freeze it. I add an egg or 2, bread crumbs, worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley. I don't measure, just eyeball it. (it's the only time I don't measure!). Just like mom taught me.
