Meatball Recipe

 Recently, I have been experimenting with making the best meatballs I can, and I think I finally accomplished that goal. 

Ingredients: 

1lbs ground beef 

1 cup Italian breadcrumbs 

1 packet Italian seasoning 

2 tablespoons onion powder 

1 tablespoon garlic powder 

½ cup Parmesan cheese 

1 tablespoon Parsley 

1 tablespoon Basil 

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 

1 teaspoon paprika 

1 egg 

Salt and pepper 

Directions 

First off, get a pound of ground beef in a bowl.  Next add 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs, ½ cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, one tablespoon of garlic powder, one tablespoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon Parsley, one tablespoon Basil one teaspoon salt and black pepper, and finally, one large egg. With all of your ingredients in the bowl, it's time to start mixing.  

With your WELL WASHED HANDS, start mixing your ingredients until it’s all well incorporated. Then, get out a baking sheet, and cover with oven-safe baking paper. Roll your meat-mixture into individual, one-inch-thick meatballs and place them one the baking sheet, with about a one-inch space between them. . Once you have all your meat nicely rolled up, place them in the center rack of a 375-degree oven, and set the timer for 15 minutes.   

I should let you know that when your batch of meatballs are done, you'd need to sacrifice one of your meatballs by cutting it in half, like so, and see if it’s cooked all the way through. If it’s still pink in the center, then put it back in for 3-5 more minutes, depending on how undercooked it is. All that’s left is to let your meatballs cool for five minutes and your good to go.
