Italian Meatballs

Very tasty meatballs! I usually make my own recipe but every now and them I like to try something new. I followed the recipe as posted then threw the meatballs in a pot of sauce. The meatballs baked really well and I wouldn't do it any differently with this recipe. I also think these would make great little cocktail meatballs since they are so flavorful. Thanks for posting, we will definitely try this again!

Very good and easy recipe. I skipped the wine and tomato paste (used the sauce I was using for spaghetti. I also used plain bread crumbs and added extra Italian seasonings. Very tasty.

very good recipe, put a piece of provolone cheese inside each meatball and it'll be perfect

I found it saltly the first time, so the second time I left out the salt. Much better.
Also, I did not have red wine so I used Worchester Sauce and it worked great! Excellent recipe. Made it several times.

This is a very tasty meatball recipe. I made them a little smaller and baked them on a rack so that the fat would drain as it baked. Ate some, froze the rest for future use. This recipe has endless possibilities.

These are now my favorite meatballs. I get rave reviews every time I serve them. I substitute Panko bread crumbs for the Italian. and finely dice fresh onion rather than powder. I double the recipe and freeze the remainder.

These were wonderful. I didn't have any red wine so I simply left it out. I made large meatballs but since it's just the two of us more than half went into the freezer. They were great with spaghetti sauce and also great in a mushroom gravy over noodles. I will make sure that I always have a supply of these in the freezer. thanks Christine

This recipe has ruined me for all other meatballs. I've made these at least 6 times and they are always excellent. I freeze the leftovers and have meatballs always available for sandwiches. I didn't have any marjoram the first time I made them so I used Oregano and they turned out so well that I have kept using it. These meatballs are easy to make and I can throw them together in less than 1/2 hour now.

Really nice kicked up meatballs. I used pretty hot n spicy italian sausage. They really complimented sauce and pasta. Thanks Christine!

These were great - very tasty on spaghetti and amazing on a meatball sandwich. I made a huge batch to freeze (froze them uncooked on a cookie sheet and then put them in freezer bags). Then when we wanted them again, I put some on a baking sheet and popped in the oven for the recommended 30 minutes. Since they started frozen, they probably weren't cooked quite through, but then I simmered in sauce for another 20-30 minutes. We made meatball sandwiches on seeded rolls with mozzarella cheese - they were so good!

Good recipe. I doubled it and used the Italian Bread Crumb Recipe (#54348) for the meatballs and used a combination of Manischevitz Concord Grape wine and Red wine vinegar because I didn't have any dry red wine. I left the cheese out and cooked the meatballs for 10 minutes at 400 degrees before I put them in the crock pot on low with spaghetti sauce for a better part of the day.

FINALLY....I made a good meatball...but I did make a few adjustments to accomidate my hectic schedule. I made a double batch, but instead of putting them in the oven, I browned them in olive oil on the stove. Then using the red wine that had to be opened, I deglazed the pan and added 2 jars of premade jar sauce.(and had a glass of wine. To this I rinsed out each jar with 1/2 jar of water and added that to the pan. Then this all went into the crockpot and the browned meatballs were added...Cook on low for 5 hours....Wonderfully simple...Thanks Much

Very simple and with excellent flavor. I used fresh bread crumbs rather than the Italian seasoned, and finely diced red onion instead of the onion powder or flakes. I also increased my seasonings due to only using fresh bread crumbs. These were a quick fix on a lazy night and added to doctored bottle sauce and some pasta for a simple meal with a salad.

Excellent, tender, flavorful and very easy. The red wine and garlic are excellent. I used turkey Italian sauage and lean ground beef with great results. These may be my new favorite meatballs. Suggest increasing the recipe (I quadrupled it easily)and freezing the extras after baking. Can heat up frozen cooked meatballs in spaghetti sauce for a quick dinner or meatball sub. Thanks, Christine, for sharing your recipe!!

These meatballs were a hit and are so easy to make! The hot oven not only sears in the meat juices but the aromas of the herbs, garlic, and wine too. This was my first time baking meatballs and it won't be the last. I think they're better than pan fried. No flavors need be wasted either. I deglaced the baking pan with a little wine and added this to the sauce. Yummy!!
