Meatball Base

Method

Preparing the Meatballs

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Forming the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chilling

    Refrigerate the meatballs for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Cooking the Meatballs

  1. 4

    Baking the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

  2. 5

    Adding the Sauce

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the meatballs from the oven and brush on your choice of sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, Raspberry Chipotle, or Italian). Return to the oven to allow the sauce to set.

Serving the Meatballs

  1. 6

    Serving

    Once the meatballs are cooked and sauced, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
