Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon parsley (or ½ tablespoon chopped fresh)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1-2 dashes black pepper
- ¼ cup milk
EXTRAS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓-½ cup broth (vegetable or beef)
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Slowly add the milk until you have a soft compact mixture. Form the mixture into small balls.
- In a large pan add the olive oil and the meatballs, brown on all sides turning often. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes. Add the broth, cover and cook on medium/low heat for approximately 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Stir occasionally to make sure the meatballs don't burn. Remove the lid and cook 2-3 minutes on high to thicken slightly. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cooked meatballs will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator. Keep them in an airtight container.
- To freeze them, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until they are frozen and then transfer them to a freezer safe container. They will keep for several months. You can warm them in sauce or broth when you are ready to serve them.
