Giant Italian Meatballs - ★Cooking Recipes★

Directions for: Giant Italian Meatballs

Ingredients

1 lb(s) ground beef

1 lb(s) ground veal

1 lb(s) ground pork

2 large pieces bread, soaked in 1/2 cup milk

1 cup dried breadcrumbs

4 large eggs

1 large onion, diced

2 red peppers, diced

5 large cloves fresh garlic, minced

fresh Italian parsley

fresh basil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

2. In a shallow bowl, pour milk over bread and allow to soak. Set aside.

3. In a large pan, saut onions and red peppers until soft, about six minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

4. Mix together meat, eggs, cooled onions and peppers, milk-soaked bread and herbs, adding breadcrumbs until mixture is dry enough to form balls. Do not over mix.

5. For giant meatballs, form a ball about the size of a small baseball and brown in a large saucepan. Place on a parchment-lined baking pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.

6. For smaller meatballs, roll each one out a bit smaller than a golf ball and place on a parchment-lined baking pan (no need to brown first). Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Top with your favourite marina sauce.
