Expecting hurricane Sandy on Monday, so I want to make spaghetti and meatballs tomorrow so we have something we can just heat up on the gas stove top.

What is your favorite recipe for meatballs that go with spaghetti sauce? I know there are tasty meatball recipes for brown sauce, etc. but these are going in spaghetti sauce. :thumbsup2

Here are my ingredients:

Meat Loaf Mix: Pork, Veal, Beef - package between 1 l/2 to 2 pounds
5 Eggs
4C Seasoned Bread Crumbs - a handful or more, just enough keep the meat on the wet side
Grated Parmigiana/Romano Cheese - half a handful

Mix them all together, roll into balls, Brown them in oil (do not cook them all the way through) toss into sauce and let them cook in the sauce.

My meatballs don't last very long, they are usually gone by the next day. They even eat them cold.

They taste even better the next day, because the longer they sit in the sauce the better.
 
I take some chopped meat and mix it in a bowl with some Italian seasoned bread crumbs, grated cheese, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. I then roll the meat into balls and put some tin foil on the bottom of a lasagna pan. Then lightly spread olive oil on the bottom of the pan on top of the tin foil. I put the oven on 350 and cook them until they are brown.
 
I don't measure so this is approx...

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
splash of milk
splash of olive oil
tablespoon of very finely chopped garlic
about a 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
about 1/4 of parm cheese
a pinch of salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 500. Place meatballs on broiler pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Toss in the sauce to finish cooking.
 

I use ground chuck, one egg per lb, sautee 1/4 onion in olive oil.... add basil, oregano, garlic salt, parm cheese, bread crumbs(usually use my little chopper with old bread).... I boil mine for 10 min, then add to sauce... boiling takes the greasiness out then add to sauce and cook on stovetop for another hour.
