This is my Moms meatball recipe that never lets me down. People always comment how fantastic they are and restaurants have taken the recipe from me. Try them and I hope you love em as well. They have a great consistency (not hard) and taste wonderful! Follow me on Twitter @ChefBigFatPanda
"Delicious soft meatballs! The first night, we put them on toasted baguettes with fresh mozzarella and marinara for meatball subs. A couple of nights later, we sliced the leftover meatballs and used them instead of pepperoni for our homemade pizza! So good ( I did add salt, pepper, and some Italian seasonings). "

Great recipe! I bake @ 350 for 12-15 minutes instead of fry. Adding salt, a little oregano or chipotle chili powder is a nice option. Cheese was easy to ind at Costco - is a mix of Romano and Parmesan and is good!

Great basic meatball recipe. My son loves them. I first made them to the recipe and they were very good. The second time I simmered the meatballs in sauce instead of frying. I like them much better simmered than fried.

Great meat balls. I used my meatball scope tongs, worked great. Used a jar sauce with a little cream to cut the acid. Turned out great. See my 4 window photo.

If you use the cup of Pecorino Romano as the recipe states, I have found no lack of flavor. Yum!

First time ever at attempting meatballs! I am so grateful I found this recipe. Thank you for sharing. :)
I added a little bit of adobo seasoning, salt, pepper and oregano.

Not only were they quick and easy to make, they were delicious! Better than any restaurant meatballs I've ever had.

made these but used mozzarella because that was what we had on hand. Also, because we like a little 'kick' I added about a teaspoon hot sauce, a tablespoon chipotle sauce, and a dash of worcestershire sauce.
They were incredible, got rave reviews at our superbowl party!
