The best thing about these meatballs, besides the flavor of course, is that I can make them ahead of time, bake them and then pop them in the freezer. They'll thaw as they simmer away in the sauce. For ease, I use my favorite store-bought brand, but if you have a favorite homemade sauce, feel free to substitute that instead.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a small cookie scoop
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the panko and milk in a small bowl. Let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. (The mixture should form a paste.)
  3. Gently combine the breadcrumb mixture, chuck, veal, sausage, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutmeg and eggs in a large bowl. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop to shape the mixture into forty 1 1/2-inch balls. Place the meatballs 1/2-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove the meatballs from the baking sheet and add to the simmering sauce.
