I don’t know what they’re thinking as it’s blazing hot outside but the boys were dying for some meatballs!!!! Ma? Can we have meatballs? Ma? I want spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Maaaaa????? Are we having meatballs? MAMA MIA, YES!!! For the love of all that is holy we will have some meatballs for dinner, and as you’ll see later this week for leftovers since in this heat and humidity if you put your time in slaving in front of the oven you’ve earned yourself a leftover meal! Mangia, mangia!
1 1/2 lb ground beef, veal, pork mix (also known as meatloaf mix)
3 T milk
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 small onion grated
¾ c bread crumbs
1 egg
¼ c parmesan cheese
2 T chopped italian parsley
S&P
1/4 cup olive oil
flour for sprinkling
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Set a large skillet over medium high heat. While your olive oil gets hot make your meatballs. In a large bowl combine the first 9 ingredients. With clean hands work the ingredients until they are incorporated then form into golf sized balls. Dust the meatballs with flour. Working in batches brown each meatball on all sides in your hot olive oil. Place the browned meatballs in a casserole dish and bake at 375 for 25 minutes until cooked through.
Serve with pasta and marinara sauce.

Is it dinner time yet? These look so good!! My kids are always asking for meatballs, the last time we ate them it was 102 outside! lol! Im going to try your recipe next time. I usually opt for their favorite the boring turkey meatballs, but I am always looking for ways to spice it up a bit!
Thanks for visiting my page! I love the coments!!
Ah, spaghetti and meatballs — perfect no matter what time of year! That sounds so good right now!!!
Thanks for the new recipe. My balls have been falling apart!
Another awesome recipe, thanks!

This looks delish!

Meatballs are requested for my stepdaugher’s birthday but she doesn’t want those homemade kind. Sheesh. Still hot here and I am loving every moment of it.

Hey there, friend! These look delish. Snuggled up next to you at SITS today…
Those meatballs look so yummy! Not hippy food but good home cookin’. I know the Burke name. Sounds like he’s more my sister Jess Plante’s age but she went to private (Marian) HS and my brother just turned 40, did go to Algonquin but is older then your roomie. Small world! Back to typing up my blog while enjoying free WiFi at McDonalds?!
Ok, you’ve done it! I’m officially craving spaghetti and meatballs
I LOVE meatballs! I like to put oatmeal in mine, they tend to stay together better. I like how versatile they are, you can put BBQ sauce over them, sweet and sour and of course, the ever favorite, marinara. These look great, thanks!
You have your boys crying for meatballs & spaghetti, I have my grown boy hubby crying for the same. He says it’s his Italian heritage and I shouldn’t deny him. OK, so when I make sauce & meatballs, I make a big batch and freeze sauce & meat in freezer containers. So I popped the last one out of the freezer this week and gave him what he had to have. I don’t mind the heat of the stove, what I mind are all the pots. But he’s so happy to get his spaghetti fix that he does them. BTW, I am following you.
How funny I just bought some Italian Seasoned Turkey to make meatballs!
It is also a million degrees here but that looks so yummy!! Thanks for guest blogging last week!
Love meatballs for dinner. Yum!
Alex,
Comfort food at it’s best. Wonderful!
Meatballs are the best part about spaghetti! Yum!
Have a great week!

If I show this to my boys, they’ll be asking for this tonight. It looks yummy!
Oh yes, meatballs. I need to make some when it cools down a bit. And parmasean? Isn’t it good on almost Everything!!
LOL at the comment above saying his balls were falling apart. ok, I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy sometimes.
Yummy meatballs! great looking recipe that will give a try.
This meal is definitely a hit with my boys..they love their pasta and meatballs!
And it’s brutal cooking on a hot and humid day. But I agree, lots of left-overs for a few days.
Do you know how happy my son would be if I made this? YUM!
they were craving meatballs because they weren’t the ones who had to stand in a hot kitchen and cook them. I say turn the AC down real low and have fun. Mail me some leftovers.
My dear you rock as always with these great meals. Meat, sauce and noodles yup the boys are in heaven.
Heck if I know on that stupid corn, hehe why I used the canned kind .. lol
Yummeeee!
And I totally love your plate.
Do you think I could make a million of these, cook them, and then freeze them?
Congratulations! I cooked!
And these are SOOO good! I made a double (and then some – 4 lbs) and I plan to freeze some. I think they will be great for packing my lunch once school starts again – how easy to just throw a few in a container and reheat at school!
