How do you make Italian style meatballs out of beef?

I know they are usually pork or pork and beef, but ground beef is all i have..

Answer #1

1 lb. ground beef ¼ cup Kraft Parmesan cheese ¼ Progresso Italian breadcrumbs 2 Tbsp. parsley 2 eggs ½ tsp. basil 1 tsp. garlic powder Salt & pepper to taste

  1. Mix all ingredients together using a fork or your hands.

  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, swirl oil to coat pan.

  3. Take a small amount of meat and roll into a 1” ball.

  4. Brown in pan for approximately 4 minutes.

  5. Use a spatula to roll each meatball onto another side to brown for another 4 minutes.

  6. When finished browning, place each meatball into simmering pasta sauce.

  7. Simmer for 30 minutes on medium setting (if using a slow cooker, you can simmer all day on a low setting.)

Answer #7

Sorry, when it comes to someone asking for a recipe, I usually try and find one for them (if I don’t know one)…most of the time, they need a quick answer so they can get to cooking it. :) Maybe someone else will answer with a good recipe they use. :)

Answer #8

thank you.. i generally had an idea of what i would do… I was just looking for a few things i might have missed.. i do search out recipes on the net, yet they lack just a certain laziness that i was searching for today..

Answer #9

I see. Well, again…I am sorry my answer wasn’t what you was looking for, I was just trying to help give you a quick response. I hope someone else gives you some idea’s that you were looking for. :)

Answer #10

If I may - avoid using the Kraft Parmesan and use real grated Parmesan - it makes all the difference in the world…no Italian would be caught dead using Kraft, which isn’t even Parmesan, but a blend of cheap cheeses. Use real minced garlic (as opposed to powder) and onion, and you also don’t need “Italian” breadcrumbs, because the seasonings that are in them are already in your mixture. I recommend you sweat the garlic and onion, then let it cool before adding it to your beef mixture.
