From Tony -
This is the recipe we featured on the show. Yes, I make these meatballs because my kids are kosher. This means no cheese (which I personally love in a meatball!)
The ground beef has to be 80/20. otherwise it's too lean and things can get really dry.
4lbs ground beef (80/20)
1/2 cup chopped dried onions
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
4 Eggs
3/4 cup ketchup
4 TSP salt
1 TSP pepper
4 TBSP parsley dried
2 TBSP basil dried (We grow our own basil, so more often than not I use fresh basil in this recipe....and everything else I do.)
2-3 cups of bread (something on the soft side. Shred and then soak in seltzer water. You want it wet, but not to the point of being mush.)
Mix everything together (by hand or using a mixer, your choice.)
Make in to balls (I am usually 1 1/2" to 2" )
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. You can choose bring down the cooking time by 5 minutes, then turn on your broiler for extra crispness. Again, your choice.
Serve with side of your favorite marinara sauce.
Enjoy!
