Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, 1 cup of beef broth, parsley, eggs, oregano, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, basil, red pepper flakes and nutmeg. Add ground chuck and mix thoroughly with a fork. Using a fork prevents overmixing and compacting which can toughen meatballs.

The best way to shape meatballs is with a portioning scoop that has a retractable blade that releases the meat. Make each meatball about 2" in diameter or 1.5 ounces each. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange the meatballs on a pan so they are not touching. (I can get 35 meatballs on a tray and this recipe makes two trays so 70 meatballs.)

Bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.
