quick meatballs

I ain’t gonna sing no lonesome tune

Ah, babe, I’m a-comin’ soon

I cannot believe I stayed so long away

But a man must look around

And you’re the sweetest thing I’ve found

Your lost high roller’s rollin’ home today

“No Lonesome Tune” by Townes Van Zandt

Another recipe from the great depression files…

While not completely necessary, this recipe aided by two kitchen utensils.  The first is a one-inch ice cream scoop, it helps to keep uniform meatballs. The second is a muffin tin which creates mini ovens for each little itty bitty meat ball…so cute.  These meatballs can be completed in under 35 minutes and are great for spaghetti and meatballs or meatball sandwiches. NOTE-grated Parmesan is not that powdery crap that comes in the metallic green container.

Ingredients:

1 1/3 pounds of (85/15) ground beef
1/3 cup onion, minced
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons Parmesan, grated
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used garlic and herb)
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 350° F
2. Coat the pan with non-stick spray or olive oil
3. Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl
4. Using your scoop, place the meatballs in the muffin tin
5. Heat the meatballs for about 25 minutes
