The Ultimate Meatball. They ARE the best meatballs, even though I use all beef most of the time. I don't fry, b/c I am too impatient, and the meatballs break up more that way. I scoop them out with a spoon, roll them in my hands, and bake on a cake rack in the oven over a foil-lined cookie sheet.
Add the onion, garlic, and parsley and cook until the vegetables are. This is the ultimate meatball when it comes to flavor and ease of preparation. Delicious over pasta or in meatball subs. You can have The Ultimate Meatball using 12 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

A very good recipe, both for the sauce and for the meatballs. In a second bowl mix the beef and pork together. The secret to these homemade beef meatballs is a trifecta of ground beef, ground pork, and Italian sausage. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley and minced garlic, then salt and pepper as desired. Add the bread crumbs and mix well.
