Next week I'll come prepared with a Thanksgiving appropriate side-dish. This week I'm bringing my kicked-up meatballs.
Kicked Up Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (10-15% fat)
1 lb ground sausage (without casings)
2 eggs
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan & Romano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (or a handful of finely chopped fresh)
Pinch of oregano
Salt
Pepper
In a small bowl, whisk eggs. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together and combine well. Let sit for a half hour or so for breadcrumbs to absorb moisture.
Roll into golf ball sized meatballs and place on a tinfoil lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
I served these yesterday for a family dinner with angel hair, Caesar salad and garlic bread - YUM!
What's cooking in your kitchen?

I love meatballs--those sound great!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great. I have made lasagna with the beef/sausage combo and it is an awesome combination!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a spicy meat-a-ball-a! Sorry. I couldn't help myself. These look tasty!
ReplyDeleteLove the meatballs but you have a typo, sauce for sausage. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Cole! Happy tuesday! Only one more until thanksgiving! I cant believe it! I am linking up a great Giada recipe for smoked mozzarella stuffed meatballs with All'amatriciana sauce. Delicious! All the best, Alex
ReplyDeleteA nice mix of ingredients. I like the sausage in there!
ReplyDeleteThose sound like lovely meatballs - yum! I like the addition of the cheeses and the basil. Thanks for sharing your recipe, and thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Those meatballs sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe meatballs sound good. My husband makes incredibly good homemade meatballs but he only uses ground beef. I'll have to suggest adding some sausage in next time and try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and thanks for hosting!
Those meatballs sound great! I shared my cranberry yogurt - just to get you in the mood for the holidays :)

Your meatballs sound fantastic. I don't know why I always make the same old meatballs. I think this is the inspiration I need to try something new. Thanks for hosting.

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Those Kicked Up Meatballs sound delicious. My husband would eat them ALL :) I added Hearty Chicken Barley Soup and can't wait to check out some of the other amazing recipes from this week's Tuesday's.
ReplyDeleteSimple goodness on a plate. Nice ratio of beef to sausage, not so overpowering. Just started following you and will be back often
