My husband makes these easy meatballs with simple ingredients like eggs, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh basil; they come out flavorful and delicious every time! Kids love them, too! If desired, add the cooked meatballs to your favorite sauce until submerged (this brings out the moistness).
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cups panko bread crumbs
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
2
Combine eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add ground beef and panko bread crumbs; mix thoroughly.
-
3
Shape beef mixture into about 40 meatballs (1 1/2-inch in size, a little smaller than golf balls) using a teaspoon. Place on ungreased, rimmed baking sheets.

4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 minutes total, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Orange Baked Ham
Orange baked ham is one of my stepmother's recipes. She used to fix this for Easter.
German Hamburgers (Frikadellen)
Frikadellen, the original hamburger, are served like a flattened meatball with string beans and salad. I also like to use this recipe to make Swedish meatballs (but omit the paprika). My aunt in Hamburg, Germany, taught me this recipe, and I've been making it ever since. Serve with steamed string beans and tossed salad. Or serve on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumbers, finely sliced deep-fried onions, and curry ketchup.
Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup
This beef barley soup with carrots, celery, and herbs is full of flavor. It's the easiest recipe ever since it's made in the slow cooker. My family loves this soup during winter.
