I used to painstakingly stuff my meatballs, but have finally found the PERFECT method for making the BEST MEATBALLS!! This recipe gives you fork tender and perfectly textured meatballs for your next crowd pleasing dinner.

BEST MEATBALLS yields 24

1 pound QUALITY ground beef
8 ounces tomato sauce, divided
1/2 cup FRESH bread crumbs
1 LARGE egg
1 cup FINELY shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup FINELY minced onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper, to taste

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Combine all of the ingredients except 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in a large bowl with your hands.
• Spray a large baking dish with non-stick spray.
• Roll small size meatballs using your hands or a small melon scooper to get even size portions.
• Arrange them in the baking dish just so they are not touching.
• Spoon a small amount of the remaining sauce over top each meatball.
• Bake 20-25 minutes.
• Let them cool before freezing or adding to your sauce.
