Baked Meatballs
By Raven Chelanee, on May 10th, 2012, Italian, Meat
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, 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.

If you want larger meatballs, shape into large enough balls to fit into a regular size muffin pan. Choose to bread or not. I did half and half for my meatballs.
Delicious!
