The Most Delicious Meatballs

A lot of meatball recipes call for combining ground beef with pork and even veal. But these are so good you really only need to use beef. Start with these ingredients:

3 small onions, finely chopped
2 small carrots, finely chopped
2 TB Olive Oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp dried oregano

Preheat oven to 400

Heat up saute pan with olive oil. Add onions, carrots, salt, pepper and oregano. Cook on a medium heat until onions and carrots are soft and lightly browned. It takes about 15 minutes.

Set aside, let cool.

In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients.

2 lbs ground chuck (beef)
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 egg beaten
2 TB chopped italian parsley
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
onion and carrot mixture

Simply mix with your hands.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (for easy clean-up).

Form meatballs with your hands. They should be about the size of a ping-pong ball. Place in oven for 10 minutes, then turn them once, and cook for another 10 minutes.

They are done! Serve with spaghetti and fresh tomato sauce.
