Weeknight dinner repertoire usually includes meatballs. Here is a basic meatball recipe with two different sauces to choose from: one basic tomato sauce and one loaded up with sauteed vegetables. You can also bake or fry these tender meatballs or turn them into meatloaf. These fool-proof, savory meatballs are definitely going to become a go-to for your family dinners.  

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds ground meat

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

  • 1/3 cup Gefen Bread Crumbs or 2 slices bread, soaked and squeezed

  • 3 eggs

Sauce I

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1/2 green pepper

Sauce II

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1 green pepper, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • 1 tomato, diced

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 1/2 cup water

Wine Pairing

Carmel Selected Merlot

Directions

Prepare the Meatballs

1.

Combine all ingredients, mix well. Form into balls.

2.

For Sauce I: Bring ingredients for sauce to a boil. Drop meatballs into sauce and cook gently for 45 minutes.

3.

For Sauce II: Sauté onion, green pepper and celery for a few minutes; add tomato. Cook for 15- 20 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, stir for two minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Add meatballs, cook for one hour over low heat.

Variation:

  This basic meatball recipe can be cooked up in a few different ways:
For Frying: Fry meatballs in hot oil for five to six minutes on both sides until brown. Serve alongside sauce.
For Patties: Form meatball mixture into patties. Grease baking pan with four tablespoons oil. Place patties into pan, turn to grease both sides. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15  minutes on each side. Alternately, place into broiler for 10-12 minutes until done.
For Meatloaf: Wrap mixture in Gefen Parchment Paper to form loaf. Cook in salted water for one hour or bake, covered, at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for one and a half hours.

Mom tested kids approved.
I used oat flour instead of bread crumbs and garlic powder instead of garlic.
Baked 20 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered (did not flip).
