Meatball Recipe

We usually eat meatballs with spaghetti, but they are also great on sandwiches! 

Meatballs in Marinara

Meatball Recipe
yields: 30-35 meatballs

1 lb. ground beef
1 Tablespoon dried onion
1 Tablespoon dried parsley*
1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
1 egg
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 400. Mix all the ingredients together. Roll into tablespoon size balls and lay in a 9x13 pan with a little space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes. You may want to drain the meat fat off- or leave it for extra flavor.

If you are going to use a marinara sauce just pour it over the meatballs after 15 minutes. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly. I just use one large can of Hunts Original Sauce. The meatballs have so much flavor that you don't need a fancy sauce.

*I recently had some friends question me as to whether parsley actually adds flavor to foods (here in the Northwest it is just a garnish). I want to clarify that parsley adds an enormous amount of flavor, as do most herbs. If you leave it out of the meatballs you will be disappointed! Also, you can add basil if you want a more Italian flavor or thyme for a French flavor.
