Homemade Meatball

Ground beef with a 15% fat content (between a fat content of 10-20%). You can purchase store bought bread crumbs or leftover bread you have. Lots of white pepper and red pepper flakes to add serious flavour to these oven baked meatballs. Sprinkle some salt. The fresh garlic gives these meatballs incredible flavour with a bit of spice. The beef broth gives a rich flavour to the meatballs. The egg binds the meatball together.

Ingredient

2 lb ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup milk any fat percentage works

1 cup beef broth divided

1 egg

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 tablespoon kosher salt

1/2 tablespoon pepper

1 tsp oregano/herb (optional)

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instruction

1.       Mix together all the ingredients except for the meat until well combined.

2.      Add in the meat and gently mix–not with a spoon, with your hands.

3.       Scoop the meatball mixture with a medium cookie scoop, rolling gently to shape if needed after scooping unto greased sheet pan with sides.

4.      Remember to handle the meatballs as little as possible–this will ensure tender meatballs.

5.      Coat a baking sheet with rimmed edges with non stick spray and roll meatballs into 1 inch circles. Pour reserved beef broth around meatballs and bake at 230 C for 25 minutes.

6.       Serve with mashed potatoes, brown sauce and veggies.
