Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1 egg
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Parmesan Parsley Biscuits, recipe follows
- Spaghetti Sauce, recipe follows
- Provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 stick chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or chives
- 1 cup whole milk, chilled
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Two 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 20 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, veal, egg, onion, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix until well combined. Scoop the mixture into mini muffin tins. Bake until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on split biscuits with sauce and cheese.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup Parmesan, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Add butter and combine with fingertips until a coarse meal forms. Mix in parsley. Gradually add milk, tossing with a fork until moist clumps form. Add extra milk if mixture is dry. Put dough on a floured work surface, folding 8 to 10 times until it becomes firm. Let rest for 10 minutes under a damp towel. Roll out on lightly floured work surface. Using a 2-inch-diameter biscuit ring, cut out biscuits and put on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake until biscuits are puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium pan over high heat, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and allow to simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, about 25 minutes. Stir in fresh basil just before serving.

Talk about a Game Day Winner! I mixed up the meatballs the day before to let the flavors blend and the parsley Biscuits Winning!!!!! I did elect to grate my Butter in which I find helps make a lighter fluffier Biscuit also I sifted all my dry ingredients for the Biscuits
Amazing recipe, can’t go wrong even with only some of the meat ingredients listed.
Big Hit for Game 1 of the World Series, GO GIANTS ! Used 1:1 ground beef to ground pork and cooked in large muffin tins with one ice cream scoop of meat. Due to time constraints used Pillsbury Grand Fluffy Biscuts, and pizza sauce. Provolone cheese was perfect. What a way to watch the game ,
grilled the meatballs on our charcoal Weber grill…FABULOUS! We used hoagie rolls but followed the recipe for the meatballs and sauce (added a little salt to taste on each) — so tasty! I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!! Will try the biscuits next time, too!
I used Alton’s baked meatballs. My husband is not a meatball lover and he’s loving this!
These were really good sandwiches. I used 1/2 ground beef and have 1/2 ground pork instead of part veal. Also for the sauce I added some italian seasoning, salt and pepper. They were really good – my 2 year old really liked them!
