Ingredients

  • 1. 1.25 lbs ground meat
  • 2. 1 egg
  • 3. 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 4. 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 5. 1/2 onion either chopped very finely or grated on a cheese grater (that's the we like it prepared best in my house-also great way to add the onion flavor without chunks on onion for those onion haters)
  • a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray, or use a piece of parchment paper to line a baking sheet, no cooking spray.
  • In a bowl combine all ingredients and pinch or two of salt and pepper (you don't need too much because the Italian seasoned bread crumbs really give the meatballs flavor). Wash your hands well and then mash/knead all ingredients with your hands until everything is evenly mixed together. Form 1-2 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, turn meatballs over on baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then serve.
