Baked Meatballs

Makes about 25 meatballs

Ingredients

1 pound ground meat
1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup finely minced Italian parsley
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely minced

Directions

Pre-heat your oven.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Do not use a mixer for this recipe.  

Overworking the meat will create "tough" meatballs.  Put everything into a large mixing bowl and mix by hand.  It could take a few minutes for everything to get mixed together.

Although I was able to get 25 meatballs, you could make a lot more if you make them smaller (Obviously).

Arrange the meatballs spaced slightly apart on a cookie sheet. Cook under the broiler for 20 to 25 minutes or bake at 400°F for 30 minutes. 

Do you like spicy meatballs?  They feel free to add spices of your choice.  This recipe is intended to be a guide line to making meatballs, not the absolute and only way to make them.  You could use milk when making the meatballs, but I used whipping cream.  I found it gave a creamy taste that the milk just wasn't getting.
