Homemade Meatballs | Indianapolis Food Blogger 9


Meatballs, the great Amer, I mean Ital.. I mean.. Well look, a lotta folks make them.

I’m gonna share my tried and true recipe.
This recipe has stuck by my side for several years now and I think it’s just perfect.
If you don’t eat beef, make them with ground turkey.

This is the start of a meal builder recipe. My next post will be a sauce to accompany these meatballs.

The basic ingredients needed are below: Recipe follows.

To make meatballs, combine ground chuck, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, garlic parsley and milk in a bowl. Mix until combined.
Form into 2 inch meatballs. Place on a plate and set aside.
In a heavy dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of butter, when butter is hot and melted, add meatballs and brown on each sides about 2 and 1/2
minutes a side. After browning on each side, remove from pot.
Place meatballs onto lightly sprayed cooked sheet.
