Whats the best recipe for meat balls?

You want to use ground chuck and ground pork, some people also add ground veal. Then an egg or two, good dry bread crumbs, finely chopped onions sauteed in butter with garlic. Sometimes I also add really finely chopped celery %26amp; carrots, chopped so fine you can barely see them. I add fresh ground salt %26amp; pepper, celery salt, a tiny bit of Italian seasoning. If I'm putting them in sauce for meatball sandwhiches I sautee them in olive oil on all sides til nice and brown and I let them continue cooking in the sauce. If I'm using them for other things, I brown them in olive oil and then bake on cooking sheets in the oven until done.Whats the best recipe for meat balls?
For every 100g of mince meat, add 1/4 teaspoons for each of cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, sugar and ground black pepper, for favoring.





Add 1 large egg and 3 tablespoons plain flour for every 200g of mince meat for bonding.Whats the best recipe for meat balls?
I don't know what the best recipe is, but the way I make them is as follows:


1 lb of chop meat (or 1/3 chopped pork, 1/3 chopped beef,


1/3 chopped veal)


1 egg


2 table spoons of flavored breadcrumbs


salt %26amp; pepper


3 or 4 cloves of chopped garlic


2 tablespoons Italian parsley


Mix all ingrediance well with your hands and roll them into balls (about the size of golf balls). Fry the mea6t balls in a frying pan with a little olive oil in the pan. Turn the meatballs in the pan until the meatballs are browned on all side. After the meastballs are browned you can either coolthem in the frig, or freeze them for future use. When your ready to use them place them in your tomato sauce.





Note: Don't use chopped meat with a low fat content. 85% fat free meat is fine.





If you ask 100 people how to make meatballs you'll get 100 different answers.
You can use crushed soda crackers or bread crumbled fine with an egg, onion and ground beef. You may want to use a mix of half ground beef and half ground pork. I just mix these items altogether with salt and pepper too and shape into meatballs. I brown them in a pan lightly oiled with olive oil and then finish cooking them in a spaghetti sauce or Swedish meatball gravy or a mushroom gravy.


You can also use ground turkey for leaner meatballs. You can season your meatballs according to what they are to be used for. For example, if you intend to use them in an Italian dish, season them with Italian spices.
Half a kilo of beef mince and half a kilo of pork or lamb mince. Fresh bread crumbs, a clove of garlic finely chopped. Add a table spoon of Oyster sauce, a grated carrot, grate 1 onion that way they dont fall apart. And chop up a handful of parsley. Its that simple.
I don't really have a recipe but I chop an onion really fine and add garlic powder to mine.They taste really good.
