Meatballs with a hint of cheesy-ness

2.5 lbs of ground beef (can be combo of ground pork and or turkey/chicken but at least 1/2 beef)
1 small onion of choice chopped finely
1/3 c favorite bread crumbs
1/2 c milk or combo of red wine and milk....empty the leftovers, if any
1 egg, whisked
2 T chopped parsley, oregano, thyme, basil and any other favorite flavor (ok to use dried, reduce to 1 tsp)
1/2 c parmesan or favorite Italian cheese finely grated


favorite marinara sauce


  • shape the meatballs to desired size, evenly
  • preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • brown in a skillet
  • place on a cookie sheet
  • bake for 8-15 minutes depending on size
  • place in marinara sauce and heat together for 20-30 minutes on simmer
  • serve as an appetizer or with favorite pasta
