Basic Meatballs

List of Ingredients




1 small onion, grated
1 egg
1 teaspoon worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/3 pounds ground beef
1/3 cup plain dried bread crumbs

Recipe



In a medium bowl combine onion, egg, worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder; mix well.

Crumble ground beef into mixture and mix with your hands until just combined. Don�t �squeeze� the mixture with your hands � overworking the meat is what yields that �corky� texture.

Add bread crumbs and continue to mix the ingredients until everything is just combined.
Now comes the easy part. Turn mixture out onto a cutting board or clean counter and shape into a rectangle. Pat her down good and keep working on it until it�s perfectly shaped.

Using a sharp knife, cut the mixture into 24 squares (or less if you like bigger meatballs). Now your work is halfway done because you don�t have to stand there and eyeball the amount you�re using to make uniformly sized meatballs. Roll each square into a ball. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up) and spray with cooking spray.

Place meatballs onto baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Baking makes this process sooooo much easier. The meatballs cook so much more evenly and so long as you cook them in a nice hot oven, the outsides get a nice sear too.
