Super tasty, my family could snack on these all day. I
Made homemade sauce to go with it...the only thing i did was eliminate pork & lamb, I used beef only. SUPER YUMMY! This recipe is a keeper.

As an Italian girl that's used to preparing meatballs with ground veal, ground pork, and ground beef, then frying them up and allowing them to simmer in sauce all day, I found myself needing to make meatballs mid-week to add to a quick pasta dish. Cue Alton's baked meatballs recipe! I had never cooked meatballs this way and was very apprehensive. Interestingly, all I had on hand in terms of meat was the ground beef. But WOW! These cooked up perfectly in the oven after about 25 minutes. I bet they would be even better with the ground lamb! I also omitted the spinach (I didn't have any on hand and added some grated parmesan. Fabulous results and so quick and easy!

Made lo-carb by replacing breadcrumbs in the meatloaf, and for coating the meatloaf, with crushed porkrinds. Delicious. The coating with crushed rinds made the meatball nice and crunchy and the rinds in the balls gave a nice subtle background flavor. Used chopped up roasted peppers and added some melted bacon grease for more flavor. Allowing mixture to refrigerate for 5 hrs before baking really made a difference. Delicious, easy to make, little cleanup, and gives another great dimension to my lo-carb plan.

For whatever reason, I knew about baking meatballs but it never dawned on me to try it - so much easier than cooking in a pan and healthier. These were delicious. They had just the right amount of spice and I liked the crunch that the breadcrumbs left. My husband and I didn't want to shop for ingredients so we only used 1 lb of beef and subbed the parmesan for mozzarella since that's what we had. We ended up with 34 small-medium sized meatballs - we were going to eat them with pasta bu ended up eating them by themselves. They were that good!

I used 1lb beef and 1/2 lb pork, because we eat so much lamb. The first time I cooked these I burned the bottom of the balls just a bit so now I turn them half way through. You don't need a muffin pan, just put some parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet and plop them on the sheet. You can use Romano cheese if that is on sale.

Very good meatballs. I couldn't get lamb/veal at grocery when I was making these so I did 2/3 beef and 1/3 pork. I followed the recipe otherwise exactly. My boyfriend and I loved these and like others didn't taste the spinach. My only recommendation, which I will also do next time, is to chop the spinach. Otherwise you are likely to get longish strings of it in your mouth. Not essential but a quick step so why not...
