Cooking meatballs???

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

My son loves this and I have never tried making it. I am going to give it a go tomorrow night with the help of you guys! My MIL actually makes them without frying, has anyone done this? What is your recipe? Would really appreciate your help! Thanks

I make meatballs that have a cube of cheese in the middle, they are so yum & i get lots of happy reveiws when cooking them for others. These ones do not need to be cooked first either, just roll up, push in cube of cheese...pop in casserole dish & pour sauce over the top & cook in oven OH they are yummy. PM me if you want the recipe.

This is my gran's recipe - she swears that is only good if you use TOPSIDE mince lol

Annie's Best Ever Meatballs

500gm Topside mince (you can get this from your butcher)
500gm pork mince (or lamb is nice too)
1-2 eggs
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tsp dijon or seeded mustard
1 grated carrot
1 finely diced onion
chopped parsley
enough breadcrumbs to bring together (about 1/2-1 cup)
1 tbsp wouster sauce

Put it all in a bowl and get in with your hands until it is all well combined and the mince is quite 'mushy' - the kids will love helping to do this.
Ball them up about the size of a golf ball (If you have time, put them in the fridge to set a little before you cook them) and fry them in batches in a pan on medium, you can just shake the pan and roll them around until they are brown on all sides.



To make them without frying them you put them in the oven, and bake them in the oven at 170 until browned.


Meatballs are super easy, quick, cheap - a great way to sneak in some veg and the kids love helping to make them too.

Thanks, that sounds yummy. Does it matter if I don't fry it in a non-stick pan? As I only hane stainless steel pans. Thanks

Oh Erin, can you please post the recipe on here? I love cheese.

You can bake meatballs too. Don't be scared to do that. They don't take as long but if you bake them on a baking tray with baking paper, just be sure to give them a good spray of olive oil or similar to help with the browning process.
