My husband is not really a great fan of pasta but since he married an Italian, he knows he’s gotta grin and bear it. So to tempt him into my world of pasta loving, I usually bribe him with homemade meatballs. Works every time!
This homemade meatball recipe is so simple to make and it only takes a few minutes to assemble. I get about 12 large meatballs out of one recipe so I usually split it and freeze half for another meal.
Easy Homemade Meatballs

1 lb of ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a medium size bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. Roll meatballs by hand into 2″ balls.
2. Place meatballs on a baking tray and bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until browned. Remove and add to your favorite pasta sauce.

I usually buy meatballs from a gourmet store and never thought about making my own. I don’t know why since I make my own meatloaf and hamburgers. It’s time for me to make some meatballs from the left over meat.
This was the first time I had made meatballs, I used a different type of bread crumbs and added some onion powder and a little bit of parsley. It turned out really good and the meatballs seemed to melt in your mouth. Definitely a recipe I will use again.
This was my first time ever making meatballs, they came out very good, moist. The only thing is I will probably add more seasoning next time, but it will be the same basic recipe. Thank you!
P.S. Who doesn’t like pasta?!
Love them! Easy and they taste great. I added a little Worcestershire and used regular bread crums.
Glad you like them Bradley! Thanks for stopping by.
