This Italian meatball recipe is the ultimate comfort food. Featuring Dan-O’s Italian-O™, which combines a perfect blend of herbs, spices, and high-quality beef, these meatballs are not just delicious; they’re absolutely Dantastic®!"
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Italian-O™ Seasoning
- 1 tsp Dan-O's Original Seasoning
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 lbs ground beef (preferably a blend like Kentucky Cattlemens)
- 2 large eggs
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the plain bread crumbs and whole milk. Then add Dan-O's Italian-O and Dan-O’s Original. Mix everything together thoroughly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the ground beef and eggs to the mixture. Using your hands, mix everything together until well combined.
- Grab small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Once the meatballs are formed, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Without adding oil, place the meatballs into the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to sear on all sides.
- After searing, transfer the meatballs to a large baking pan and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, pour the marinara sauce into a saucepan and let it simmer on low heat.
- Once the meatballs are done, gently place them into the simmering sauce. Allow them to cook together for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Spaghetti: In the meantime, cook your spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter and sprinkle generously with Dan-O’s Italian-O™.
- Plate the spaghetti, top with meatballs, and generously ladle over the marinara sauce. Enjoy your homemade Italian meatballs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired!
