Baked Italian Meatballs

Recipe #84957 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

These are really tasty and I love that they are baked in the oven rather than pan-fried. I found this recipe in Cooking light originally and have made them several times with great success. They freeze well after cooking - I just thaw them and add them to simmering sauce for a great spaghetti dinner on busy nights.

SERVES 6 , 30 meatballs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. 2
    Spray a broiler pan with broiling rack well with nonstick spray (I line the bottom part with foil and then spray).
  3. 3
    Combine all ingredients well.
  4. 4
    Form into 30 meatballs using a 1 1/2" diameter scoop (or use your hands).
  5. 5
    Set on sprayed broiler rack in prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
  6. 6
    Add these meatballs to your favorite sauce and serve over pasta or in a hoagie roll with sauce& cheese to make a great sandwich.

    Excellent! I didn't change a thing. I've never really liked meatballs, but I think these taste great. My kids love them and request them often. The meatballs do freeze very well, so I usually triple the recipe.

    Wonderful meatballs! For years I've been frying my Italian meatballs, and thanks to this recipe, never again! I followed recipe as written, but I didn't line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil, just sprayed it with nonstick spray. The top of the pan I covered with the new nonstick foil,(love that stuff) and cut slits where they were in the rack with an already dull knife. Hardly any clean up! Thanks so much, the whole family loved these!

    I didn't have any parsley on hand, so we went without that, but no one missed it and all the family loved this simple, scrumptious meal. A definite regular on the family menu from now on.
