Simple Meatballs
Description
We’ve been writing about this popular meatball recipe in Betty’s Big Red™ Cookbooks since 1969, and for good reason! All you need to make them is 15 minutes of prep and a few basic ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
- 1/2 cup Progresso™ Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
- 1 large egg
- Serve with, if desired
- Hot cooked pasta, any shape
- Pasta sauce, any variety, heated
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, mix all ingredients just until combined.
- Shape mixture into 24 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs by rolling into balls between the palms of your hands, using a meat baller, or a cookie scoop.
- Place meatballs 1 inch apart on a baking sheet with sides.
- Bake uncovered 18 to 22 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F and meatballs are no longer pink in the center.
- Serve over pasta and top with your favorite sauce.
