They are the best meatballs I ever have. I had to try this recipe when she said I put a pinch of Oregano in because my mom always did, mom knows best.

[@kristinw.6648]

Great tutorial video - thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!

[@user-mg6kt9on6w]

I just completed making 280 of these meatballs. I encourage everyone to use fresh parsley and basil as Nicole. I also added a little over 1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers. These are soooo good!!

[@Suze147]

Just made these for son n law’s birthday. His choice. Your recipe is so perfect. Thanks for suggestion about mixing before adding meat. So tender! Thanks Nicole.

[@sweetpea9433]

Your the Best! I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing

[@techman85]

You are so authentic! Please keep these videos coming! One question though, how long in the oven and what temperature do you recommend? Thanks!!!

[@sweetpea9433]

You’re great 👍 I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing

[@catherineharris27]

Silly Nicole at her finest 🤣 🤪! Just love your personality! It draws everyone into the show. I will definitely give this recipe a try! I love meatballs. Never made them homemade on my own just store bought in the freezer section at my local Ingles but I would love to make some of my own with a twist to see how they turn out. You can also use a baking muffin pan to cook the meatballs in and fill em half way through the cooking process. Yummy 😋!! I saw that once or twice on another cooking show and it made clean up less messy.

[@TopHat_vr1776]

I have always thought that I made a pretty good meatball. I just made your recipe. That is a DAMN good meatball!!! Thank you so much. My son also loves them (more than mine)

I made these on the pellet grill at 350° for about 30 minutes. I tried turning them halfway and almost had a disaster of them falling apart. They needed more time to set up. On a pan would be better next time. ‘Great recipe! A+++++ Thank You!

[@kellycantwaitformyKing]

I really like your videos and recipies. Most of the time you give the measurements and instructions. This video was lacking much of that.but i just eyeballed the ingredients and I'm sure it will be fine because meatballs are not rocket science. Thanks for a great recipie!

[@t.c.2776]

are you saying my Grandmother wasn't a rocket scientist?... she was better!!... LOL... her dinner table was a gateway to Heaven...

[@kellycantwaitformyKing]

I do the same thing and mix ingredients before I add meat.

[@julisseporras-gerhardt3472]

Hi! Can I please have the exact amounts for your recipe? I am looking, but I can’t find it and I don’t want to guess. I hope I hear back from you, because they look delicious!

[@geralddebellefeuille1988]

[@Johnnycrystalblue]

Man this sounds great. My meatballs always fall apart.

[@user-vu9qy3yn2g]

Where can I get that sausage?

[@KipBurbank1]

I bake, premix my breadcrumbs, I too like seasoned bread crumb, parsley a must, half/half, eggs, better than bullion beef stock, sit, thicken, then mix in leanest beef I can get. McCormicks meatloaf mix packet. Perfect, tender is a must. No chewy, dense meatballs for me.

[@JimOBrienLV]

How long in the oven and at what temp?

Great meatballs, however she never says how much of each ingredient besides the eggs or how long to put in the oven. was a lot of guessing on this. Can’t wait to taste it though.

[@tammylynnplummer3]

I grate my onion and garlic into mine, they just melt into the meat. I also use breadcrumbs.

it is called gravy if your Italian

Everyone is Italian if you're making meat-a-balls. I like adding some ricotta to the mix.

[@anujpramanik1819]

[@anujpramanik1819]

@@NipItInTheBud100 I follow many Italian youtubers or youtubers who actually present content from Italy like Pasta grammar, Pasta grannies, Italia squisita, etc. and I've never seen milk been added to meatballs when they make it in Italy. They also don't serve it with spaghetti or make them so chunky.

[@NipItInTheBud100]

@@anujpramanik1819 who cares! Not every Italian makes every Italian dish the same way! Just because 3 channels don’t put milk in their balls doesn’t mean nobody does! Just watch and enjoy! If you don’t want to put milk in then don’t put milk in. Your meatballs will be “more” Italian! I’ll send you a blue ribbon for it!

definitely not authentic italian.. maybe authentic in the region you ancestors came from,but Meatballs are made differently in every region!

Onions in meatballs... A mortal sin! Italians DON'T add onions... SHEESH!

[@teresapiescienski7664]

Porbably good but italians do not use heavy cream when making them nor do we use lean meat. Just saying.

[@paradislander]

Meatballs are not a typical Italian dish. Do you perhaps mean to say “authentic Italian-American”?

[@aekuterbach1]

Sorry, this was terrible, no measurements. Some of this, some of that. What?!

[@sonjamichels1191]

Really? Authentic? I think not. None of it is.

How would you know?..you eat frozen meatballs,,for your information no Italians make meatballs the same way, my mom put milk in hers too,,Delicious,,,
