Baked Meatballs

Share

 I have never been a huge fan of meatballs. What is so appealing about a ball of meat?

We were having friends over for some Italian food and I wanted to cook an easy meat dish. What better than baked meatballs? This meatball recipe is super easy, hospital after you get hands deep into the meat! I could spend most of my time on the other dishes while these baked up to perfection in my mini muffin pan.

Delicious Rating: Like I said, super easy recipe. I used pork, chicken, and beef for a moist combination. Threw in some spinach for a visual effect, plus a little spinach never hurt anybody. These are delicious meatballs that go perfect with with Spaghetti Marinara or any other Italian sauce dish.
