GRANDMA MARONI'S MEATBALLS AND MARONI SAUCE 100 YEAR OLD RECIPE

I found this recipe on the Food Network website on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It is from Maroni Cuisine in Northport, New York. I saw the episode and was inspired to make the meatballs. Boy am I glad I did. They are so good! Truly the best meatballs I have ever eaten. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/grandma-maronis-meatballs-100-year-old-recipe-recipe/index.html The original recipe uses ounces-I have somewhat converted it into teaspoons and cups. (Hopefully I have done it correctly, but it tastes good too with my measurements!)

For the meatballs:.

To make the sauce:.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add oil. Once heated add the finely sliced garlic and onions to the pan. Cook over medium heat until soft and slightly brown. Next add the canned crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the julienned basil.

This was on a Bobby Flay Throwdown show. I usually get around 28 ping-pong ball sized meatballs out of this, use what I need, and freeze the rest (baked).

Time 55m

Yield 24-28 meatballs, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
6 ounces dried breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
4 ounces whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces romano cheese, grated
3 ounces Spanish onions, grated
2 ounces fresh garlic, finely diced
2 ounces fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet or mini-muffin pans with cooking spray.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. If mixture seems a little loose, add more bread crumbs.
Roll meatballs loosely about the size of a golf ball and place on baking sheet or in mini-muffin pans. I find that using the mini-muffin pans helps retain the round shape of the meatball.
Place into preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. Add to your favorite sauce.
