These are the best baked meatballs out there! A crispy crust and a juicy and flavorful center. These meatballs are sure to quickly become a family favorite!

There’s always one meal I know that everyone in the family will eat and love. That meal is spaghetti and meatballs. I always end up serving my spaghetti and meatballs. I usually double or triple the recipe and freeze what we don’t eat so I have a quick meal on hand that is a guaranteed winner.

We use Cheez It’s instead of breadcrumbs and it is amazing.
I have a question…most meatball recipes call for one egg as a binder… this recipe doesn’t. Is this a mistake or is there a reason? I will try the recipe but will add an egg. Love your recipes and blog… thank you, Geri
She mentions in the video that she doesn’t use an egg, that this recipe doesn’t need it
Hi
I am so glad to have this recipe . These meatballs are so delicious and easy . The fact that they are baked makes it even better. We like to use Italian sausage also. Thank you . This is now my go to meatball recipe.
I also use sweet Italian sausage with ground beef. Just take out of casings gives the meatballs a great flavor. I also break up bread instead of breadcrumbs
I also add 1-2 eggs, some fresh chopped parsley, and some finely chopped onion. I’ve never heard of Worcestershire sauce in meatballs, but if it’s good for you that’s all that matters. Preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Thank you ! You have the best recipes Easy and delicious. You are the greatest 💕💕
I bake mine at 325 for 30 min and they are definitely cooked through but stay soft and not burnt. I only season with garlic and grated onion, salt and pepper. Great way to cook meatballs.
Like some others I had a problem with these burning on the bottom and making cleanup a bit of a chore. However , the taste and texture of the meatballs was truly excellent. I think I might try lowering the temperature to 350 next time.
I use a roasting pan with a rack….they dont burn or stick. Line the pan itself with heavy duty foil and boom…clean up is easy
I have made this for my family several times and it’s always a hit. Easy and delicious!
Easy to make but way too much Worcestershire sauce for me. I will cut in half next time.
This is the best meatball recipe! My family loves it and I love that it’s super easy and versatile. My family tries to gobble these up when they come out of the oven!
Tasted ok, dense, on par with store bought. Burnt on the bottom, seems like the Worcestershire. WIll make again, baking at 350, halving the Worcestershire, and reading some other of the more successful reviews with modifications. Liked that it was pretty easy to make.
Love this! I add dried green pepper and grated Peccarino. So easy my husband loved these.
These were delicious. Did not change a thing and my husband and I loved them
Thanks for all your wonderful recipes
I’ve never liked meatballs until now. This is wonderful!

This recipe is so good , we use it to make our hamburgers also. DELICIOUS !!!!!
