Italian Sausage Meatballs
Report
These Italian Sausage Meatballs blend ground sausage with eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic to create moist, flavorful meatballs. Gentle mixing with lukewarm water adds moisture without toughness. Baked in the oven until cooked through, they develop a tender texture and can be served tossed with sauce or as a versatile protein addition.
Description
The recipe combines ground Italian sausage, eggs, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and minced garlic in a bowl. Lukewarm water is gradually added to make the mixture moist but still able to hold shape. The mixture is formed into approximately one-tablespoon meatballs, placed on a baking sheet, and baked at 400°F for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked.
They produce tender meatballs with savory sausage flavor and cheesy notes from parmesan. Baking rather than frying results in less mess and a straightforward preparation.
These meatballs can be served with tomato sauce, pasta, or as appetizers. Their firm yet tender texture holds well for saucing without falling apart.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground sausage
- 2 egg large
- 1 breadcrumbs 1/2 cup
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup water lukewarm
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine ground sausage, eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, and garlic. Slowly add the water, a few tablespoons at a time, mixing with your hands until everything is just combined. Don't over mix here or it'll make the meatballs tough. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape when rolled into meatballs.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop about one tablespoon of meat into your palms and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of the meat.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they're cooked though.
- Toss with your favorite sauce and serve!
