Italian Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a wire cooking rack (like you would use for cookies) with cooking spray. Place in a rimmed baking sheet that has been rimmed with foil. Set aside.

Step 2

Soak the bread in cold water for about five minutes (enough to just cover the bread completely, ringing out the excess water and pulling the bread apart with your fingers.

Step 3

Combine the meat, eggs, and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread. Then add the dry breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic salt, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Using a cookie scoop to make uniform sized meatballs, scoop out the meatballs roll them into balls. Place them on the rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the meatballs register 160 degrees with an instant read thermometer. (See my notes in the post for alternative ways to cook Italian Meatballs.)
