Classic Meatballs

I feel like I’m breaking the law by posting this recipe for meatballs. Everywhere I look there are healthy recipes designed to help one detox after the holiday season. I feel like a rebel bucking the system and thumbing my nose to those who think we all should be indulging in lighter fare.
I just don’t feel the need to detox, yet.
I’m still craving comfort food and warm cozy meals– is that so wrong?
Salad just doesn’t sound good.
Unless it’s served alongside these…
This is the kind of stuff I am craving in January.
I like to make these meatballs and freeze them. That way I have them on hand whenever a craving strikes. They are great served with a tasty tomato sauce and spaghetti, but I also like them tucked into a hoagie bun and topped with melted mozzarella cheese.
They are easy to make and very versatile…
In a large bowl combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 pound of Italian sausage, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 3 or 4 garlic cloves (minced), 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until just combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs the size of golf balls on steroids. Line them up on a cookie that is lightly coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Serve and be comforted.
