Instructions
- In a large bowl combine all the meatball ingredients (excluding olive oil) and mix well.
- Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and fry until they brown all around, about 7 minutes. You will have to do this in 2 or 3 batches, so do not overcrowd the meatballs.
- Transfer the meatballs onto a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk to form a roux, cook for about 1 minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Cook for another minute, the mixture should thicken a bit.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cheeses and whisk well until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary. Turn off the heat.
- Add the meatballs back to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the meatballs. Garnish with parsley if preferred. Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe will yield 25 to 30 meatballs.
- Baking directions: Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, or use a baking rack. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes until golden brown. Follow the rest of the instructions for making the cheese sauce.
- To freeze the meatballs, let them cool completely at room temperature. Transfer them to a freezer safe container and place them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Freeze sauce separately in an air-tight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag and can last for a few months.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.
