Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Japanese bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Romano
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with hands until well blended. Form beef mixture into balls about 3 to 4 ounces each. Place in a greased baking dish, cover with foil and place in oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and check to make sure they have cooked completely through. Remove the foil and place back into oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes to let some of the juices absorb back in to the meatballs. Drain remaining grease and serve with your favorite pasta and sauce.

I mixed 1 lb. hot pork breakfast sausage w/ 1 lb. ground beef. Great flavor and easy to do. If you want a little lighter version use two cups or 4 slices of reg. white bread soaked in milk instead of bread crumbs.

This recipe is good as a base, but to me they are a little bland so I added some red chili flacks along with exchanging 1 lb of ground beef with Italian sausage to give more flavor. Just punch up the seasonings and you will be fine. Also, I always make a tester first and add to it accordingly. I even make a tester for meatloaf.
