Reviews
These meatballs were VERY good. I added 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese by mistake because that’s usually how I make my meatballs. They were very yummy and a huge hit with my 4 year old daughter.
She didn’t add the entire 2 cups of bread crumbs. She added about 1 cup.
These meatballs were a huge hit with my family. I didn’t need the whole recipe so I molded half into a meatloaf and baked it. It made awesome sandwiches!!
Karen.
These are the best. I will never buy frozen meatballs again.
Followed the recipe to a t, and the meatballs had a weird grease/ooze underneath them. Never had this happen with meatballs. I think there are too many eggs. I will be using a different recipe next time.
Used these and made meatball subs. They were great. I read too quickly and use 1lb beef and 1lb pork sausage. They were still amazing!
2 cups of breadcrumbs and only 10 oz. of meat??? Then an entire onion, 4 eggs, and a whole cup of milk????? I haven’t tried these but those amounts don’t jive. Are y’all sure you made these this way? Sounds more like a savory cake batter.
Great recipe. My only change was a little less bread crumbs. As for the reviewer who made the comment about the picks, that was ridiculous. Get over yourself!
These did not disappoint! I cut the recipe in half since I’m just cooking for me, and also used hot Italian sausage and added some red pepper flakes for a little more heat! So excited for dinner tonight!
