Italian Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Chuck
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ - 1 Cup Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley
  • ½ Teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Onion
  • ¼ Teaspoon Basil
  • ¼ Teaspoon Thyme
  • ¼-½ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350° F

Combine all ingredients. Form into balls with light touch to remain juicy and tender. Fry in oil to brown. Set aside - use juices for sauce.

Can bake the meatballs for 30 - 45 mins, turning to brown evenly. This way the fat runs off.
