Meatballs

My first attempt ever at making meatballs and it was a success! I mean molding meat into little balls and providing just the right spice is not the easiest thing to do - but I mastered it and on my first try too! Just kidding making meatballs is pretty dang easy - here is what I did.

 Ingredients

1 lb of ground beef

1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs

1 egg

1 tbsp of worcestershire sauce

2 tsp of kosher salt

1/2 tsp of seasoned pepper

1/2 tsp of garlic powder

1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/4 cup parsley

olive oil for sauteing 

Directions

1. In a medium - large bowl combine beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, parsley and worcestershire sauce. Mix ingredients enough to combine them but don't over mix them. 

2. Using a meatball roller or your hands roll the mixture into balls.  Make sure to roll them enough to keep the mixture together not fall apart.

3. In a skillet heat the oil at a medium temperature. Carefully add the meatballs and let them brown on each side. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to collect excess oil.

If using in spaghetti let add the meatballs into the sauce and let them heat with the sauce for about 20 minutes. Then serve. 

When making spaghetti and meatballs I favor angel hair pasta but it's up to you which noodle to use. 

Making meatballs takes patience and if you don't want to stand in front of the stove you can place them in the oven to cook.
