Meatballs

Postby OSD » Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:52 pm

This is the recipe I use for making meatballs. A basic recipe that I add to, to make different flavored meatballs. :D A couple variations are in the tips section of the recipe. :D
Fine tune it to suit your tastes. :D 8)

Meatballs


1 pound hamburger
¼ pound ground pork (not pork sausage)
½ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup milk
2 tbs finely chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg-beaten



1 - mix ingredients
2 - shape into balls. makes approximately 24--1 1/2" balls.
3 - cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until brown, about 20 minutes. or cook in an ungreased oblong pan in a 400* oven until light brown, about 20 - 25 minutes.
4 - cook in smoker at 230* . Takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.


Cooking Tips

For Italian meatballs, use Italian flavored bread crumbs instead of plain. Add in 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Oregano, 1/4 tsp basil, and 1/4 tsp Thyme.

For spicy meatballs add in 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp chili powder. Then coat the outside of the meatballs with your favorite BBQ rub.

To make rolling meatballs easier, work quick (don't over work the meat ), keep the meat cold, and ( saved the best for last ) keep your hands just a little wet with water so meat won't stick to your hands. :D

Well I hate to see folks braggin on their meatballs when I got the ultimate recipe from a janunine Roman Catholic Eyetalian Lady from Noo Yawk City. According to her hubby..her Daddy used to eat the eyeballs out of the roasted lambs. Now is that Eyetalian or whut? I give the recipe out free sent to private email only cost five bucks for shipping and handling charges. Let me know.
