Best Italian Meatballs

[@carolemiller6854]

I’m 100% italian and been cooking for going on 60 years. Did it all like my mom and grandma. But I have learned, from you, there are more ways to make the favorites. I’m sure mom and grandma wouldn’t mind.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hi Carole , There are so many great recipes out there that vary from region to region in Italy , I glad that you are enjoying my family recipes that my great grandmother taught us !! 😊

[@bellem.8329]

Me too! Always learning.

[@giuffrerenaud]

Made the meatballs and gravy today. Feels great to be Italian! Thank you for the great recipes.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

So glad you got to make them...I'm sure they were fabulous ..and yes ..Great to be Italian ! 😁

[@billygullett5169]

my friend you have masterd the meatball great job i would love to set at your table Godbless from wv

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you very much , my brother in law lives in WV , so you never know … you might just get that chance 😊

[@amandapagliarulo5390]

Can you please start adding an ingredient list in your description!! Love you videos

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Yes I definitely will ..my production guy told me the same thing ....I am going to go back and add it to all the video this week. .I'm glad you enjoyed them !

[@deebee4850]

I make mine almost exactly like yours, wet bread and all. I only do 2 things differently. I add fresh basil and use an onion/garlic combo. Otherwise, I’m ingredient for ingredient. I just LOVE your channel. Binging it right now!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

i hope this helps you make that perfect meatball 😊

[@suemarie3691]

this full Polish girl enjoyed your recipe. I must have been Italian in a previous life. Though my hubby half Italian & German. oh so good

[@michaelb.42112]

This is by far the best recipe I've seen that is like the most sacred meatballs.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

thank you ! I really hope you enjoy them ! 😊

[@gritskennedy5007]

Why not bake them off?

[@gritskennedy5007]

To keep food containing onions or and garlic from tainting ice cubes when freezing put food that is solid wrapped in parchment then plastic wrap then wrap in foil then into freezer if it's not solid food AS LONG AS YOU PUT FOIL WRAPPED AROUND THE COVERED FOOD THE GARLIC AND ONION ODOR WILL BE NEUTRALIZED BY THE FOIL... JUST LIKE ONIONY OR GARLICKY HANDS FROM COOKING A MEAL WASH HANDS IN WARM WATER AND SOAP AND TOUCH THE FAUCET COMPLETELY WIPING FINGERS AND HANDS OVER THE METAL AS IF YOU ARE WASHING THE FAUCET.. THIS WILL INSTANTLY GET RID OF ONION AND GARLIC SMELL FROM HANDS...

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

@gritskennedy5007 it’s just how we make them , we have always fried them

[@jackwagon4313]

Man that looks delicious... im going to try the gravy and meatballs tomorrow!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

I promise, you won’t be disappointed !!

[@irishheart4768]

I use milk not water.😁

[@jeannehagan7333]

Thank you so much Jeanne...I like to call it reality cooking ....😁

[@nancyf18]

We are getting a Trader Joe's here in Murfreesboro, TN They have one in Nashville but I do my best to not go into Nashville. Bears, to keep them out of the garbage. I glad you and your wife making good memories. God bless you, your wife and family.

[@chrisanziano1781]

I LOVE my garlic grating dish. Bought my parents one for Christmas a year ago and now they live it as well.

[@chrisanziano1781]

Sometimes I also make my meatballs with roasted garlic

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

it makes all the difference!

[@toniastudstill595]

I made your gravy and meatballs for lunch today👍🏻👍🏻. I will never use another recipe again! Hats off to the master😎😎

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you Tonia ...Great to hear that tried my recipes, they definitely come from generations of great cooks in my family ... there are a bunch more great family recipes on my channel ...hope you try some more of them

I am definitely gonna try making meatballs this way. I could almost taste them, thru the Internet, from halfway 'round the world in New Zealand. Quite a few really great ideas in this video. And the dialog is priceless! Nicely, nicely done, Kenny!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

[@rbiv5]

Good recipe. I see a lot of people add onions to meatballs. In Italy, nobody adds onions to meatballs. Your recipe is more authentic Italian. Nice work.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you very much ,,this is the recipe my great grandmother from Avellino taught us

[@TheFavson]

I've made 10,000 different types of meatballs. I tried these. Absolutely perfect.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Excellent !! ...so glad you enjoyed them ! ....I've been working on the a long time

[@KameraShy]

That is some SERIOUS garlic. Never heard of a garlic grating dish before. Will have to try it.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

when you grate the garlic you lose a lot to skin and heel and you do need to grate some and chop some for the right taste profile 😁

[@briankillian5248]

Awesome. Kenny....you're my new "go to guy" for Italian. Well done Sir!

Nicely done!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

thank you ! 😊

[@bellem.8329]

Been making the gravy (we call it sauce) and meatballs, almost just like yours, for decades but I learned a few things from you that I will do next time. I will season each can of tomatoes, add baking soda to the gravy to cut the acid and I will cook my meatballs in more oil. I’ve been frying them in too little oil. I also cook homemade Italian sausage before the meatballs and add both to the gravy. It’s how I was taught. The sausage flavors the meatballs and the sauce and vice versa. Some of my family likes the sausage, some the meatballs. I also use about nine cans of tomatoes and I freeze in batches for later. I chop some meatballs and sausage to make meat sauce for lasagna. It’s to die for. You must be the real deal cause a little old Italian lady taught me almost identical to what you do. Saving your videos and I will subscribe.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hi Belle , we definitely love sausages , braciole and a good piece of pork .. but i usually portion this big pot out for storage and later use and will put my meet in them for a sunday dinner …. if you store it meat free you can use it for other recipes like vegetarian eggplant parmigiano or seafood recipes like red clam sauce …. i hope you enjoy all our family recipes 😊

[@bellem.8329]

@@livelaughandcookitalian thank you. I remove the sausage and meatballs and store them separately from the sauce just for that reason. Some is dedicated to lasagna, some to chicken or veal parm. Love having a freezer full.

[@joestrassel5336]

Thank you so much for this incredible video. I made meatballs last Sunday and followed your recipe and technique as much as possible and they came out PERFECT. My family loved them and are already asking me to make them again. Thanks again!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hey Joe I’m so glad your family enjoyed my meatballs ! I have the same issues with the meatball requests so I normally make a triple batch and freeze them for later. Hope all is well.

[@katconlin2855]

Love..best ingredient. You got it and make us remember and pass it on..

Thank you Kat , we have been passing down recipes for 5 generations 😁

[@teachinganoldcook5665]

Looks delicious. Just helped mom make meatballs this past Sunday. We don't use the wet bread and don't bother mixing the eggs. Mom always just broke em and plopped them in. They all mix in good anyway.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you ! So many great recipes out there 😁

I just made these. They were like biting into a heavenly cloud with garlic, parsley, and cheese.😅😅😅 really good recipe, i will keep it in my Arsenal. I used beef. For some reason, veal is impossible to buy in Oklahoma.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hi Jack , love hearing you enjoyed my recipe !! If you can’t find that prepackaged tri mix of beef , veal and pork … then try a 60% beef / 40% pork mixture

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hi Anthony , So glad you are enjoying my channel , You are going to love those meatballs ! I will have to take a look and see which pan i used and what brand it is … hope you enjoy all our recipes Kenny

[@KJames-bx7yb]

I will make this for sure. Well planned out recipe and I enjoyed it. I like to put a dusting of flour on mine before frying them and I recently started letting them steam in a metal colander over the sauce after frying just like my mother used to. Right out of the colander as a kid is how I ate them! Will combine these into a Stromboli for sure

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Glad you enjoyed my video .. definitely let me know how they come out

Just tried this recipe and it is now our forever more meatballs. "Gravy" is next!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Happy to hear your family enjoyed the meatballs !! The gravy will not disappoint them either 😊

[@MiThreeSunz]

Kenny, great meatball recipe. Almost identical to mine. I use dried bread crumbs that I hydrate with milk to add moisture to the meatball mixture. I also fry my meatballs in an olive oil/canola oil blend. The olive oil has the flavour and the canola oil takes the high heat. Bravo! 🇮🇹🇨🇦

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Glad you enjoyed it ...meatballs are one of my family's favorites .!! ..my grandmother is 92 ..she still makes meatballs and uses all canola oil to fry 🇮🇹

[@nancymay5525]

Love your channel... How long do you put your meatballs in the sauce to marinade?

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you very much , i’m glad you are enjoying our videos and recipes. I usually put them in for 30 to 45 minutes … I will time all my meats accordingly, so if I’m making braciole or putting pork in there those will go in first after being PNC and they will usually put those in for an hour to an hour and a half then if I’m putting in sausage that will go in for a half hour then at the end I will put in the meatballs for a half hour to 45 minutes until they are tender and then it’s ready

I make mine almost just like yours, except I use milk on bakery italian bread without preservatives. I find the white bread gets too gummy. I try "shredding" it with a fork before I mix it in, makes it easier. Love the hybrid idea

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Thank you Cindy , I’m glad you enjoyed it...if I have scali bread on hand I would use that as well 😁

[@83devildog]

Live, Laugh and Cook Italian 👊

[@bellem.8329]

Omg, eating a meatball off a plate, hot and fresh from the sauce with a sprinkle of cheese is one of the perks of being the cook!

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

i think it’s the best perk ! 😁

[@jh9992]

I like the "hybrid" reference; I took in all the ways my family have made them over the years and I believe 😅 mine are the best too! 😅 Very similar to my process; I use 4C breadcrumbs (this brand is a must....it's the Brooklyn roots in my family 😅), heavier on the breadcrumbs and less on the wet bread, I put in a little milk, only use romano grated cheese, a little heavier on the parsley, and.......I throw in some pinoli nuts. And I only brown them in olive oil and then submerge them in sauce to continue cooking. The other week, I made several batches of lasagna and my non-Italian wife asked me why I made a batch of meatballs the day prior for the lasagna and not a "meatsauce" the day of when making the lasagna. I gave her the look 😕. I said I'm not making booster club lasagna! 🤣

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Awesome!!! I found your meatball recipe!!! Hey I have a tip for you...put some parchment paper on a cookie sheet...put olive oil on the cookie sheet...put your meatballs in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes depending on how big...your family wont know the difference...trust me lol

[@gigib.965]

Ps...flip them half way through

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Hi Trent ...I’m happy to hear you enjoyed my family gravy recipe ....I usually buy the tri mix in my local supermarkets like stop and shop or market basket ...it’s by the ground beef section and will say meatball or meatloaf mix ...if you can’t find it as the meat department to grind you some veal and them buy equal parts of beef and pork ...hope you can find it

[@4chunutleeun]

Which Market Basket? The one over in Salem only has the beef, pork mix as the meatloaf mix.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

The have the tri mix in the Reading market basket and they usually have it at stop and shop too

[@georgewood8691]

I found that forming your hand into a claw and mixing the ingredients keeps the meatballs from being dense.

[@SyracuseNP]

I just subscribed to your videos and can’t wait to make your meatballs. Just one question, though. Your video mentions you use Parmesan cheese, but your recipe mentions Parmesan and Pecorino Romano. I think the video would be correct, but as you mentioned in your video, this is a hybrid of the different family recipes.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

Welcome ..I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos ...actually the written recipe is correct with the mix of Parmesan and pecorino Romano....I didn’t realize I left out the pecorino Romano in the video until the editing stage and it was too are to reshoot ...but they will be perfectly fine with just Parmesan if that’s all you have ....let me know if you have any other questions and how they come out ..enjoy !! 😁

[@Mjoby31]

My mother used to save me 2-3 right out of the pan - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!

[@danwaller5312]

Try dry oatmeal in place of the dry breadcrumbs. I also cook my meatballs totally in the GRAVY

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

i’ve had the oatmeal meatballs , they were ok , but i’m going to stick with the breadcrumbs … we never put anything raw in the gravy , everything gets par cooked / pan seared first to keep in the tenderness and juices … just like pan searing a roast before it goes in the crock pot or oven

First test run, need to bring the temp. down a little, but really good first time. Dog's thought I was nuts, I kept saying, "how much"?, "about that much".

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

It’s definitely the go to saying in my house ! 😁

[@susancorreale3352]

Is it half cup of pecorino romano and half cup of parm cheese ... or half cup total of both. The video only mentions parm cheese. Just want to check, so I have it correct.

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

It is a half cup of each .....if you ever need it , the ingredients list is in the video description box below every video ...happy new year !

[@gigib.965]

Question: have you ever tried pouring milk over your bread instead of water??? When I made these meatballs, I changed the water and used milk...they were so soft and moist♡...Just wondering...not trying to mess with tradition♡ lol

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

My great grandmother taught us to use water so that’s how I make them ...it’s not the milk or water that makes them soft, it’s the wet bread so if you prefer milk, like many do, that is totally up to you 😁

If the trio package of meat can't be found, how much of each to get the 2lb?

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

33 % of each

The meatballs looks wonderful. For people with diabetes and on Low Carb diets, would you be able to adjust the recipe by deleting the bread and breadcrumbs and replace with crushed pork rinds? I know it is not the same but that is where many people are now with poor health 😔. Thank you.

Hi @TEXASrose ..There really is no substitute for the wet bread and breadcrumbs…they are used to soften the meatball … i don’t think the pork rinds will do the same thing… I would remove the bread and bread crumbs entirely and also remove the beef from the meat mixture and just use 50% ground pork and 50% ground veal… This will make for a softer meatball

Almond flour is a decent substitute for the bread crumbs. The crushed pork rinds get chewy.

I so the same but I soak my bread in Milk not water..

[@livelaughandcookitalian]

I know lots that dial in milk , I tried it and didn’t see the difference so just keep with the water my great grandmother taught me 😊
