mix & match meatballs
These are my go-to, no-fail Favorite Meatballs.
They come together in minutes with simple, everyday ingredients, and they’re super easy to customize.
Whether you're switching up the meat or adjusting the spices to suit your taste, this recipe is always a hit. (Might I recommend switching up the meat half and half? My current favorite variety is 1 lb beef, and 1 lb ground pork).
Plus, they’re perfect for meal prepping or freezing for those busy nights when you need something quick but delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs ground beef (or meat of choice)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs lightly beaten
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 small grated onion
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup fresh parsley
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
*** in a pinch I have used dried versions of ALL these spices and the recipe still turns out delicious
STEPS:
Preheat oven to 450
Line 2 baking sheets with foil + cooking spray
Combine all ingredients and mix with your hands until combined (use a wooden spoon if your mixture is too cold!)
Form into 1 1/2 inch meatballs, this recipe makes about 30
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until brown
There you have it - quick, versatile, and absolutely delicious!
These meatballs are great for busy weeknights or when you want to have something ready to go in the freezer. No fancy ingredients, no fuss—just real, wholesome food made simple. Enjoy!
