Love2Cook Recipe ∗ Easy Meatballs

My husband makes these easy meatballs with simple ingredients like eggs, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and fresh basil, and 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
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Mix eggs, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Add beef and panko bread crumbs and mix thoroughly.
3. Shape mixture into about forty 1 1/2-inch balls, 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, turning halfway through cooking time, 10 to 15 minutes total.
