Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 2 lbs fresh ground beef (grass-fed is always a good choice)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (great use of any stale bread)
• 2 tablespoons grated romano cheese
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon virgin oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
• diced onion, to your liking (optional)
• fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Recipe

• 1 for this super simple recipe just mix all of the ingredients in large bowl, and roll into 3 oz size balls or less (depending on your preference that is.).
• 2 spray your baking sheet with oil, and bake at 350 f for 40 minutes. if you are planning on serving them with marinara sauce, throw the meatballs in the pot to simmer for a while. doing this will add a yummy, rich flavor to the sauce. also, do not be afraid to leave them in there for a while too. grandma used to leave everything to simmer all day before serving dinner. the result was a delicious smelling house as well as an infusion of meaty wonderfulness in the marinara sauce, and super delicious tender meatballs! garnish your homemade meatballs with some more grated cheese and a little fresh parsley for color and enjoy.
