Meatballs (to go with your sauce!)

These meatballs go great in a pot of spaghetti or with sauce and mashed potatoes. These also work well with a sweet and savory sauce (can of cranberry sauce and a bottle of chili sauce).
This is also my recipe, so no siting necessary.

Meatballs

1lbs of ground round beef ( you could use ground chicken, turkey, or pork)
1/2 panko (can use more to stretch your meat)
1 egg
1/2 shredded Parmesan
1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (can use TBS dry, but fresh parsley really makes these pop)
salt and pepper to taste (probably 1tsp salt, 1/4 of pepper, I don't really measure)

Gather all your ingredients, chop your parsley

Preheat over to 400

Add everything in a large mixing bowl and mix together (I use my hands)

Using your TBS form uniform sized balls

Arrange on a sprayed cookie sheet, (I use a broiler pan that drains) if you use a fatty meat don't use a sheet pan or you will have a greasy mess!

Cook for about 20 minutes, more for larger meat balls

Keep an eye on them they don't take long to cook. Slice one in half to check them if the juices run clear they are done.

Now they are ready to add to your tomato sauce, or any sauce. They are also pretty tasted dipped in ketchup.

Enjoy! Happy cooking!
