Meatballs

These meatballs are very moist, garlicky, and juicy with a great beef flavor. They can be used any way you would like; in a marinara sauce, in a sub or slider. As an appetizer. Sliced on pizza or a sandwich. There are endless uses for them ! I do not like dense meatballs so I think the use of the croissants and heavy cream help make these soft and moist.

Ingredients

20 minutes
14-20 meatballs
  1. 1 poundground beef 80/20 (you can substitute ground pork for up to half of the ground beef if you want)
  2. 2croissants, torn into pieces
  3. 1/2 cupheavy cream
  4. 1large egg
  5. 3green onions diced
  6. 1/2 cupfresh grated Romano cheese
  7. 3large garlic cloves minced (use less if you don’t love garlic)
  8. 1/2 tspsalt
  9. 1/2 tsppepper
  10. 1/2 tspItalian seasoning
  11. 1/2 tspred pepper flakes
  12. 1 Tbspfresh parsley chopped

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking pan with olive oil. I put down aluminum foil first to reduce cleanup.

  2. 2

    Add all ingredients Except ground beef to a food processor and pulse until well combined, mixture will be wet. This is ok.

  3. 3

    In a bowl combine mixture with the ground beef. Mix together well with your hands.

  4. 4

    Form into 1-1/2 inch balls.

  5. 5

    Place on prepared pan, don’t crowd them and bake just until cooked through. About 12-15 minutes. Internal temp should be 160°F. Cook 5 minutes in broiler to brown up. They are now ready to be used anyway you would like. I freeze any extra meatballs in small quantities (3-4 per container) so they can be easily used later. Enjoy!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
