Homemade Meatballs

Making meatballs is super easy and a great homemade dish to even include the kids in on during the cooking. An Italian baked meatballs is one of my sons favorite recipes.

What Are Meatballs Made Of

Meatball recipes can be made with any form of ground meat. Traditional meatballs are ground pork, bread crumbs and spices. Common everyday meatball recipes can be a 50/50 ground pork and ground beef combination or ground chicken or ground turkey.

Vegan Meatball

If you are vegan you can make vegan meatballs out of ground meat alternative, ground beans and your choices of spices. Nora Cooks has a great vegan meatball recipe that can also be made gluten free.

How To Make Meatballs

Making meatballs are super simple. You combine all the ingredients together. Form meatball shapes. Bake or fry the meatball depending on the recipe and enjoy. Simple Party Food has a great step by step how to make meatballs post including a recipe.

Making Meatballs

Our family has been making meatballs for years to the extent that we have come to eyeball the mixture. Adding the ingredients as we go. Making it from memory. We generally make a triple batch and save some for later.

Can You Freeze Meatballs

Meatballs are great to freeze, You can freeze them raw. You can freeze cooked meatballs. You can freeze meatballs in sauce. Learn all the other things you can freeze to save money.

Cooking Meatballs

Meatballs can be cooked, baked and fried. I’m sure you could even deep fry them if you really wanted too.

How To Cook Meatballs In Sauce

Generally, you will precook your meatball either by baking or pan frying them before adding them to a sauce to speed up the cooking and ensure they are cooked the whole way through. Adding meatballs to sauce helps flavor the meat and complete the dish.

Gluten Free Meatball

If you are wanting to make a gluten free meatball dish you can substitute gluten free panko or gluten free flour in the given recipe. Or what we do is a 50/50 ground pork and ground beef combination plus spices to taste. We don’t use a binder or filler.
