Everybody needs a good Meatball Recipe! These meatballs are very versatile and taste great with just about any dinner meal.
So, this is a no-frills Meatball Recipe. But believe me, these meatballs are full of flavor . . . garlic flavor!
I know, I know. Meatball recipes usually involve 2-3 different types of ground meat. Well mine are ground beef only. Gasp!
I don’t know what is happening in your freezer. But I certainly do not have ground pork or ground veal chilling up in mine.
I have good ol’ ground beef in my freezer. So that is what I use. Feel free to use a mixture of pork and beef if that is your preference.
I added enough roasted garlic to repel vampires. And fresh parsley for a pop of flavor.
Other than garlic and parsley, I included The Usual Suspects. Beef, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, milk and eggs.
I cook my meatballs in a skillet because I love the outsides to be crisp. Especially if I am adding them to sauce.
But, these meatballs could be baked too. Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes or so.
These meatballs were served with my Chimichurri Sauce. They are wonderful in spaghetti, in barbecue sauce or in a Meatball Sub Sandwich. {Meatball Sub Recipe – Coming Soon}

March 17, 2014 atThis is one delicious-looking meatball. The Chimichurri Sauce looks to die for and absolutely indulgent. Can’t even tell you how much I am drawn in by your pictures. Drooling!

March 18, 2014 atI love the idea of meatballs with chimichurri, instead of the usual tomato sauce (not that there’s anything wrong with that….) Such a nice mix up from the norm. You are definitely not alone in rebelling against the multi-meat mix.
Nicole Harris says
March 18, 2014 atThanks Crystal! Yes, the chimichurri is a nice change. Glad to hear that I am not the only one keeping my meatballs simple with plain ol ground beef 😀

March 19, 2014 at“enough roasted garlic to repel vampires” lol Nicole!!!! Love that you stuck with your guns and just put in ground beef. I’ll come back to this recipe when I’m making last minute meatballs because yeah…I don’t have and veal hangin in my freezer. 🙂

March 19, 2014 atYour photos are gorgeous!
I for one think it’s weird to mix different meats into one when making meatballs. It feel wrong to me, somehow.
Nicole Harris says
March 20, 2014 atHaha, I totally get that! Thanks Sasha 🙂

April 13, 2014 atCan these be frozen?
Nicole Harris says
April 14, 2014 atHi Liz! Yes, you can definitely freeze meatballs. I suggest freezing them on a baking sheet then transfer to an airtight container. That way they do not stick together and you can defrost a few at a time as you need them.

June 19, 2014 atSimply scrumptious! I’m going to serve it to my friends tomorrow, as an appetizer. Do you know how long it keeps in the refrigerator?
Thank you so much for sharing!
Emilia says
June 19, 2014 at(I meant, the sauce!)
Nicole Harris says
June 20, 2014 atHi Emilia! The sauce should be fine in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. I hope you and your friends enjoy! Thanks!
