Description

J Dub’s Italian Meatballs are not only delicious, they are extremely easy to make. You literally need one bowl to mix all of the ingredients together before shaping into balls. 

Ingredients

Scale

  • 16 ounces sausage

  • 16 ounces hamburger meat

  • 3 cups torn bread or panko bread crumbs (I used left over crusts from bread crusts that I had previously frozen and then thawed)

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 4 Tbsp shaved parmesan

  • 4 Tbsp chopped parsley

  • 1 Tbsp oregano

  • 1 Tbsp granulated garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 4 Tbsp fresh basil, julienned

     

Instructions

  1. Mix all of the ingredients together.
  2. Shape into balls about 2 inches in diameter.
  3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the balls in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 12-15 minutes.
  5. Or, fry the balls in small batches in a dry skillet.
  6. Allow the meatballs to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

These meatballs can be placed in ziplock bags in a single layer and frozen for up to 6 months or used immediately.

You can serve these as an appetizer or as part of a main dish.

Try J Dub’s Italian Meatballs with my All Day Red Sauce.

Or if you are rushed with time, Rao’s red sauce is a great store bought alternative.
