THE Most Delicious Meatballs Recipe (and I’m only Half Italian!)
Who doesn’t love great meatballs?! Over many years Chef Chuck has perfected what he finds to be the best meatball and has dropped that recipe here today and also in a TikTok video HERE. This is a very simple, no fail recipe that comes out delicious every single time.
The journey of the Meatball
First you’ll need to mince up your onion and your garlic. Toss those in a sauté pan over medium heat with your vegetable oil. While you wait for your onions and garlic to cook, add all three meats and your three eggs to a large mixing bowl.
Once the onions are translucent and have softened, add your cubed bread to the pan and let it absorb the remaining oil. After that, add in your milk and lower your heat to allow it all to cook together without burning.
Fold your mixture from the sauté pan as well as the remaining ingredients into the bowl with the meat and mix all of them together well. At this point you can pull out a cookie sheet and either line with parchment or spray with a pan release spray. Roll your balls together to be the size of a golf ball. If you choose, you can get an exterior crust on them in a sauté pan but you can also just add them straight to your oven (set to 400 degrees) and check them after 15 minutes. I have found my typical sweet spot to be 15-20 minutes if I am adding to the saucepot for a bit, 20-25 minutes if I want them completely cooked through and ready for immediate use.
That is literally all you need to do! Super simple, super delicious meatballs. I would recommend adding them to the saucepot when they come out of the oven and I would also recommend using a high quality sauce recipe. WHOA….just so happens I have one right HERE. Added bonus, the sauce recipe I posted has exactly ZERO sugar added!
