KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS



Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs image

Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

Time 50m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork will work well also)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or use enough to hold the meat together (no dry breadcrumbs? just soak 3 slices of bread in the 1/3 )
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk (can use up to 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
  • Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
  • Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
  • After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
  • **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Creamy ricotta cheese is the secret to keeping these meatballs tender and moist.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Yield Makes 30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
5 slices white bread, crusts removed and torn into pieces (about 3 cups)
1 cup whole milk
1 pound ground chuck beef
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground veal
1 pound whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 quarts Basic Italian Tomato Sauce, or other Italian tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion, cooking until soft but not colored, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly.
  • Combine bread and milk in a bowl to soak for 5 minutes. Squeeze excess milk from bread and finely chop. Add chopped bread to the bowl with onions. Add all the remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce. Gently fold with hands to incorporate ingredients, but do not overmix or meatballs will be tough.
  • Bring tomato sauce to a simmer in a large deep-sided skillet. Pinch 1/4 cup of the meat mixture and gently form a ball with wet hands. Drop the meatballs, as they are formed, directly into the sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring carefully a few times until meatballs are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve meatballs with sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.

SUPER MOIST ITALIAN MEATBALLS



Super Moist Italian Meatballs image

Craving some tender and juicy meatballs?? Give this recipe a try! The two secrets are the extra eggs, and cooking the meatballs in the sauce, instead of pre-baking or frying them. Ground chuck or a 50/50 mix of chuck and sirloin work best for full flavor and moistness.
