[@ThabaniFede]

This is what I was looking for years thank you and your video deserve to be liked, subscribed or followed

[@ElenaPadilla-ij2xt]

Finally a video that is to the point and actually looks good,and shows step by step and not having anoying people or music

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you

[@diolate2]

Someone cooking in the sauce!!! This should be first on the algorithm. It's like 10th. EVERY single one prior pre cooks the meatballs... my italian nonnine would only cook in the sauce and makes the softest most delicious meatballs ever! My fathers also a master chef but we all defer to hers lol. He does the same way in the resturant but adds a few other meats to the sauce. He loves recreating old italian peasant dishes. Great job!! ❤🎉

[@diolate2]

Also you can't spread a pre cooked meatball on bread like these. 👏😂

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you! Cooking meatballs in sauce is really the best way for me, I love how the meatballs remain soft. Mixing different meats yummy, I do that sometimes especially with pork mince! Nonna’s cooking is always the best 😊!

[@lorenae.arredondo9154]

This is the kind of recipes that I always looking for, easy no hassle involved, thanks for sharing ❤

[@brickboo1]

First video I've seen where the meatballs were not browned in a skillet with a bit of oil before adding to the sauce.

[@ritamargarita3647]

I made them today ! Thank you ! It really easy and good !!!

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying them, I’m glad you like them

[@anamartinindojerman2757]

Awesome looking meatballs Nic! I just posted a video over on my channel about meatballs. Could you check it out and let me know what you think? Thanks!

[@emiliarodriguez7570]

Tried this recipe for my family and they loved it! 10/10

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying it, I’m happy you and your family love it

[@heidibear44]

Trying this tonight. Looks so yum!

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you

[@kurtisloew108]

Look delicious! My mother made the best meatballs and never fried or baked. Always cooked in sauce from raw. Going to give these a try!

[@PunkPunkMerc]

I make a big pot of sauce then roll and drop the meatballs in the pot and let them cook. I Let them cool then slice and layer in my lasagna. An Italian lady from NYC taught me this recipe 35 yrs ago. Always perfect!

[@reenakhan8918]

I do the same

[@zizijones3081]

I am glad I have found your video of this recipe, it is exactly the same recipe like my lat mum, God bless her soul. Thank you very much.

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you for watching, i’m happy that this recipe has reminded you of how your mum use to cook her meatballs, mum’s are the best cooks, Mhsrip.

[@davidchappell4759]

They look so good.

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you

[@noeldierickx8138]

This looks easy and great: I will try it (but: without garlic).

[@nichomecooking]

Thanks, hope you enjoy

[@venturesbyyolanda]

Tried this recipe today and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you for trying the recipe! I’m glad you liked it

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Almost 25K subs!!! Way to go Nicole!!! It’s a long arduous road on YT but you’re traveling it well. One day, when you have over 500k subs I’ll be able to say, ‘I remember when…’ 💪🏼💦😃

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you Nowakezone, it is indeed a long arduous road, it’s not for the faint of heart😀! When I reach 500k I will be happy to celebrate with people like you who are cheering for me. 😊

[@reygagui85]

Love the way its prepared. Easier to follow. I will do it this way exactly. Thanks !!

[@marvinharms1891]

Hi, thanks for the upload. I will try that way. Always have browned my meatballs first. I'm a big foodie and I don't see why it can't be done that way.

[@ryanreach3710]

My 2nd time gooking these. This time I frogot the cheese 😢 great recipe thanks!

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying the recipe, I’m glad you like it, Hope it still turned out great even after you forgot to add the cheese

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Nicole I cannot believe I forgot to subscribe before but I just did. Since my previous comment I made your recipe another time and once again people loved the results. Today I am making another batch that will be used for meatball subs this weekend when my buddies and I get together to watch NFL playoff games. I know how KZbin metrics work and I want your channel to grow so I’ll be playing your videos to bump up the views. Thanks again for your hard work Nic..!

[@nichomecooking]

You are so kind, thank you so much for the support, I'm happy people loved them.

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Very nice video! I’ve never cooked meatballs in sauce. I bet they add excellent flavor to the sauce and stay tender. Great job!

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much! Yes they are very tender and they give the sauce such an amazing taste.

[@antonhofdam3047]

Omg the was so delicious you relly deserv a folllow

[@nichomecooking]

Thank so much for trying the recipe, I’m glad you liked it

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Couldn’t wait any longer, made this today. Changed some ingredients etc but that’s not the point. You used a panade, I have never before, I did this time. Excellent results. Slow cooked in the sauce until meatballs were 145° in the center. I don’t think anyone wants pink in their meatballs. Hamburger, different story. The meatballs are tender and juicy and the sauce is fantastic, clearly having benefitted from the meat. Very, very well done Nic. I’m wondering if that’s short for Nicole. Happy New Year to you!

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying them, I’m happy they turned out good. Yes you guessed it right, Nic is for Nicole! Happy New year 🎉🍾

[@hotpotato9474]

Thank you so much! I really loved it!!❤❤

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying it I’m happy you love it 😊

[@Commander_Raveth]

As long as these don't cross the road, ill eat them anyways. Btw these look like they could because thats how well made they are. Solid but soft. A good bite and bite back.

[@yvonneromero2392]

I left my pack of ground beef in the kitchen while I was looking for some cool meatballs recipes. I was waiting for so long to be able to cook some delicious meatballs since i really like them. I found this video and fell in love with the recipe, so I rapidly annotated all the steps on a notebook. I went to the kitchen, notebook in hand and when I arrived got sad. My mom cooked all the ground beef with onions.

[@nichomecooking]

Too bad, I’m sure your mum did not know what plans you had for the ground beef. Thanks for watching.

[@yvonneromero2392]

@@nichomecooking yeah my mom didn't know, but her ground beef was delicious xD

[@charliebruckman8661]

I always bake mine but tonight i'm tired of making a 4 hour project out of meatballs and pasta so i'm doing it.....YOOOOOUUR WAAAAAY!!!!

[@nichomecooking]

Thanks, Hope you enjoy 😊

[@gypsyami7475]

What about the Italian seasoning the the oregano and basil ??

[@nichomecooking]

In this recipe they are not required. But if you like your meatballs that way add them.

[@normanwyatt8761]

The meatballs and sauce look gorgeous without searing the meatballs in a frying pan.......Is there a difference in searing and not searing......My local Italian grocer and restaurant always sear the meatballs and they taste wonderful.......They cook all the sausages and meatballs in the sauce and ladle into containers for plain sauce buyers.......It's the only sauce I'll buy.....

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you. The difference to me is that the not fried meatballs add more flavour to the sauce and they are much softer compared to fried ones..

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Lovely!

[@dani_GTVR]

So this is how gwibard the meatball and his family were born huh?

[@mariamjedediah6998]

Yummy 😋

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you 😊

[@eugene3738]

I’m gonna make meatball sub so this was very helpful

[@Evergreen945]

I would panfry the meatballs first before adding to the sauce it adds extra flavour.

[@nichomecooking]

It depends on how one wants to cook them!

[@maritelramos]

I've been trying many recipes but Arabic meat balls is easy as that 😋yumm

[@judsjo]

Gonna try these i really want to eliminaye the excess oil so i hope it turns out great

[@rosacastellon5250]

My first time I saw your video meatball recipe, and I made it, they were delicious.thank you.

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for trying it, I’m happy you liked them.

[@alexxgakumo571]

Oso yamyyyyy

[@Cutay7BOOTAY]

Definitely going to try this technique. It seems so logical lol. My family loves a good meatball

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you, hope you enjoy

[@cristinap-qd8ko]

Can I use butter bread 🍞 instead?

[@nichomecooking]

If it has a low percentage of butter it should be fine

[@elizabethabuan1301]

I been watching maybe a year now i thought i subscribe already and i realize i never did no wonder i need to type your name everytime only now i did it thanks for sharing your recipe i love it❤

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to me! I’m glad you love it 😍

[@oxxymoxie]

1. Could I use butter instead of olive oil? And 2. Could I cook it like this in a crockpot?

[@nichomecooking]

Yes you can use butter, I have never used a crockpot.

[@adelawelbeck624]

Such a plug can you do same with pork mince and fry before adding to sauce

[@nichomecooking]

Yes you can

[@javedalum8989]

Finally found someone that does not fry the balls. Great stuff and great recipes.

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you 😊

[@AtlasaoneSeboloki]

ke mathata fela kakwano AHH!!

[@Nervousnancy]

Found your channel today and cooked. The sauce was great.how do I know? After we ate the kids kept dipping the bread into it

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.

[@JohnDoe-zf2zm]

I like the recipe but I don't like the hamburger put in raw because it leaves too much fat I think I would have precluded a little bit Sprouts in the oven just the most off the fat

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you. From what I have seen when I cook too much fat depends on the type of mince you use and how much oil is used not because of cooking like this.

[@diliasultanova5389]

My kids love it!! Very easy and delicious recipe. Thank you

[@nichomecooking]

Thank so much for trying the recipe, I’m glad your kids love them.

[@chichi775]

[@lydiakudenga6602]

I am going to try these next time. I just made meat balls and they are dry

[@ouissalmilles5333]

If you try her recipe they will turn out great, that's why we use bread crumbs or leftover bread, it makes the meatballs soft and juicy

[@Godchild20144]

Could the meatballs not fry first then add to sauce ?

[@nichomecooking]

You can do that if you want!

[@dannyeckert3255]

why wouldnt you brown your meatballs?

[@nichomecooking]

Because I love to try different ways of cooking!

[@kellyclarkson2439]

I'm going to try this. Thank you for posting ❤

[@nichomecooking]

Thank you for watching! Hope you will enjoy 😊

[@carsade]

can you just use normal bread

[@nichomecooking]

Yes you can

[@Enhle_Nompilo_Mbatha]

What did you sprinkle on top at the end

[@nichomecooking]

Parmesan cheese

To keep them soft

I done this today. Was fine. I added a drizzle of fish sauce, a large pinch of sugar and ground cumin though. Adding wet bread to the balls is a neat idea though
