Mama Maroni's Meatballs

Submitted by retiree09

"This was on a Bobby Flay Throwdown show. I usually get around 28 ping-pong ball sized meatballs out of this, use what I need, and freeze the rest (baked)."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 24-28 meatballs
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 1 lb ground chuck
• 6 ounces dried breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ounces whole milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 6 ounces romano cheese, grated
• 3 ounces Spanish onions, grated
• 2 ounces fresh garlic, finely diced
• 2 ounces fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet or mini-muffin pans with cooking spray.
2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose, add more bread crumbs.
3. Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet or in mini-muffin pans. I find that using the mini-muffin pans helps retain the round shape of the meatball.
4. Place into preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add to your favorite sauce.

These are just as good as they looked on Bobby Flay's throwdown. I made a meatball sub out of them
