Homemade Meatballs

Homemade meatballs are easy to fix and baked in the oven. These are the perfect meatballs for your favorite red sauce, or any sauce. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes or rice. Ground veal is just an option, but it gives the meatballs exceptional flavor. The meatballs are just as delicious using equal portions of ground beef and ground pork.

It's easy to think that homemade meatballs are too much work, but be assured these are so easy and there's really nothing better than meatballs made from scratch. These cook fast, in less than 30 minutes and can bring out the best in a store bought sauce - or any sauce.

I use one egg and one egg white to help tighten up the meatballs, but you can use two whole eggs and have very similar results. I just like the lighter texture that comes from using an egg white rather than two eggs.
