Ingredients to make Ground Beef Meatballs:
- 500 grams of ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- Flour
- 1 pinch of oregano
- 1 pinch of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
How to make Ground Beef Meatballs:
- To make these homemade meatballs you can use veal or ask the butcher for a mix of veal and pork. If you decide on this last option, the ideal proportion is 70% beef and 25% pork. The mixture will make the meatballs juicier thanks to the pork. And if you prefer to use chicken meat, then check out the chicken meatballs recipe.
- To start the meatballs recipe, place the meat in a large enough bowl and knead it together with the eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, seasonings and parsley. Onion and parsley must be finely chopped. If you are allergic to eggs you can do without this ingredient.
- Trick: to enhance the flavor of the meatballs, previously fry the chopped onion.
- Add a little flour to the mixture until it becomes malleable and compact. The amount varies to taste, but one or two large tablespoons should be enough. Check the seasoning and correct with more seasonings or salt the easy meatballs recipe if necessary.
- To make the easy meat balls, form balls with the meat and pass them through breadcrumbs. If you see that the meat does not compact, you can add more flour and knead.
- Now that you know how to prepare meatballs, you can cook them in sauce or make them fried
