Savory Italian Meatballs Or Meatloaf Food

BEST ITALIAN MEATBALL RECIPE

Steps:

• Place cubed white bread and evaporated milk into a large mixing bowl, tossing to combine. Allow to sit while you prepare other ingredients. Bread will start to disintegrate.
• Add micro grated onion and garlic to bread, mix well. Add parsley through ground beef bouillon, mixing until combined.
• Working in 3 rounds, add 1/3 of each type of meat, blending with your fingers until it just comes together until everything is combined.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Take a good amount of meat and toss back and forth between your hands to pack. Meatballs should be approximately 2-3 inches wide (I like big meatballs!)
• Place onto a broiler pan, make sure meatballs are not touching. Bake for 20 minutes, placing on broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
• Remove and either allow to cool. Freeze or simmer in your favorite marinara sauce.

ITALIAN MEATBALL MEATLOAF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the meat in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Trim the crusts off the bread and place in a small bowl, cover with milk and soak to soften. Squeeze the milk from the bread and crumble as you add it to the meat. Then add the eggs, cheese, parsley, grated onion and garlic, and mix to combine. Form into a loaf about 4 inches high and put on the baking sheet. Spray with olive oil.
• Mix the ketchup with the balsamic drizzle and Worcestershire. Season with pepper. Spread about 1/3 cup of the ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour.
• To reheat, slice the meatloaf 1 1/2 inches thick and put in a pot of warmed chicken stock. Serve the meatloaf hot or cold on thick-sliced Italian white bread with the remaining ketchup mixture and the lettuce, tomato, onions, mozzarella and basil.

SAVORY ITALIAN MEATBALLS OR MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Wash your hands.
• Form your ground beef into a tube on a large cutting board. Cut a slice down the middle of the tube forming a pocket along it's length.
• Remove the Italian Sausage (optional) from casing and place it into the pocket, then sprinkle all other ingredients over it (except the Spaghetti Sauce).
• Knead your ground beef tube with your hands until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
• Form your meatballs rolling them with the palms of your hands.
• If you are making meatloaf instead of meatballs, form your meatloaf tightly and bake it on a broiler pan (so the grease will drain through the holes) at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, pour your favorite Spaghetti Sauce over your meatloaf. When the meatloaf is done, it is ready to serve.
• Place your meatballs on tin foil in a large roasting pan. Roast at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. This recipe makes about 50 meatballs. You may need to use 2 roasting pans depending on your pan size. Remove from oven when done.
• Pour your sauce (I always use Paul Newman's Sockarooni Sauce) into a crockpot until it is about 1/2 full. Add your meatballs and cover with a bit more sauce. Freeze any extra meatballs or set them aside in your fridge for a second serving later.
• Set your crockpot on high. Your meatballs will be ready to serve in about 1 hour.
• Try to keep the crowd back once word spreads about the juicy Italian flavor. Whatver else is happening at your party, a line will always be formed in front of your meatballs.
