Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix together using your hands until well combined.

3. Roll into 1" balls. You should have a total of 24 or 25 meatballs. Place meatballs onto a baking sheet with raised sides.

To freeze: After cooking, let meatballs cool then place into a zip top freezer bag. When you're ready to eat them remove the number you need and place into sauce pan with pasta sauce. Let simmer until meatballs are heated through.

I have some of these in the oven right now. I admit that upon reading your post, my first thought was that i never really considered meatballs quick, but when I thought about it I realized that when I used to make them I would use probably five or six pounds of meat and make a ton. It would take me like an hour to roll all the balls, not to mention mixing that much meat with your hands is painfully cold :). But I used 1/2 pound turkey and 1/2 pound beef and it was pretty quick. So thanks for the inspiration to make them again! And I think maybe the parmesan mixes in more easily than breadcrumbs.

And the boys loved them…they want me to make them again soon for spaghetti (we just ate them plain).

My 11, 2 AND very picky 5 year old + husband & myself loved them. Probably made them a bit smaller than 1” (being a metric girl – they were about 2cm in diameter) and left them in a 200 degrees Celcius oven for 15 minutes. Made a huge batch to freeze so there’s enough for another day. Thank you so much for this lovely addition to our ‘cuisine’..! And I have added your site to my favourites.

I so happy to hear that your whole family liked them! And you’re so smart to make extra so you can freeze them.

These are DEE-lish! And super easy! That makes extra yummy to me! My family is GFCFSF, so I made a few substitutions. Instead of the cheese I used GFCF bread crumbs. And then I threw in some chopped mushrooms. I bake these in bulk because my guys devour them! Thanks for a great recipe!

Made these tonight for my girls birthday party. We are trying gluten free for one of them and these were excellent. Everyone enjoyed them. I bought some gluten free bread to make my own bread crumbs when I came across this site. They were quick and easy that my 9 yr old daughter made most of it. Thank you.

Wow, these were surprisingly tasty for how easy they are to make. I used fresh parsley but that’s the only change I made. Thank you. Think I will try making a fresh tomato sauce to go over them.

We made these last night. They were delicious. My teenager loved them so much, she asked if we could make them again tonight!

I just made these with minor modifications. My daughter is allergic to egg, so I used Ener-G Egg Replacer instead. Also, I was too lazy to chop onion, so I used almost 1T of onion powder. Finally, I used my medium-sized cookie scoop to get uniform-sized meatballs-18 total. They smelled great while they were baking! I kept the temp at 350 and for the size I made it took them about minutes 21 to be done- taste is pretty good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
