Garlicky Meatballs
- 1.2-1.3 pounds of ground beef (I use 95% Beef, 5% fat)
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- In a large bowl, combine beef, panko, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, and eggs.
- With your hands mix all the ingredients together so that everything is mixed in.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Form the meatball mix in 24 meatballs.
- Cook 12 at a time in skillet turning ever 2-3 minutes, cooking all sides.
- Once meatballs are cooked, place on a paper towel lined plate and cook then next batch.
- Serve with red sauce and pasta
- *I freeze half a batch of these after they cool and let them thaw in the fridge and heat them up in the sauce when I serve them again.
