Weeknight Meatballs

Description

This is a recipe from my boyfriend's mother. It's his childhood favorite and I make it just about weekly for him. It's pretty plain and simple if you have a picky eater in your family.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :10 Min

Cook Time : 35 Min

Total Time : 45 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 4-6
  • 1 ground beef


  • 3pieces white bread, torn


  • 1 egg


  • 1 garlic powder


  • 2 onion powder


  • 1 ground pepper


  • 1 tomato paste


  • 2 hunts tomato sauce


  • 1 sugar


  • 1⁄4 garlic powder


  • 1 onion powder


  • salt

Directions

  • In a food processor, pulse bread until crumbs form. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until uniformly mixed (you may need to scrape down the bowl a couple times to get it just right). Using wet hands, form balls about the size of a golfball. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 450 F until browned (about 15 minutes). I turn them once during cooking. Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer to warming sauce in a medium-sized pot. Simmer for at least 20 minutes. Serve over noodles (I like whole wheat angel hair for this recipe).
