Homemade meatballs are so easy to make you won't believe it. This recipe is made in just 3 easy peasy steps Mix, Mold, Bake and Enjoy that's all. You could call it 4 steps if you intend to include the 'Enjoy' part. You can use any mince meat of choice like I used chicken in my in my spicy Teriyaki Chicken balls recipe and beef in my quickest yet delicious meatballs sauce recipe.

Can you see how juicy it is?

If you love turkey then you can 'meatball' it too ? Talk about a fifty-fifty mix of pork and beef like I did in my skillet coconut jollof rice and meatballs combo Hmmm yummy!!! Your options are endless.

These meatballs can be made ahead and kept frozen for later which is exactly what I did with my quickest yet delicious meatball sauce. Or you can use it up immediately. If you don't keep them away they finish fast you see my little helper helping herself with one. This was about the third one ?

Meatballs need bread crumbs to help add some fluff and volume so I used my perfect homemade bread crumbs which is super easy to make. Since I started making my breadcrumbs at home I have never needed to buy from the store. I make the crumbs ahead and store in an air tight container on the shelf or in the freezer if I need to keep it for longer.

They finish so fast...

You will need an egg to bind all these together and some spices too. I like adding Worcester sauce to my mix which is Optional but I think it also helps with moistness. You tell me now isn't this easy peasy? Mix, Mold, Bake and Enjoy ?

I suggest you use an ice cream scoop or a rounded Tablespoon to measure the mixture out before molding it. This makes everything even and tidy. If you don't have an ice cream scoop or a measuring spoon you can just eyeball it and use your hands..

      Hi Teni,

    […] Like I said you can use any green veggie of choice if spinach is your family favorite then use it. I decided to use meatballs in this recipe, you can skip that if you don’t have meatballs at home and use any protein you have available you can even make it vegetarian by using tofu or any vegan meat substitute. Just get creative with it. You can make some homemade meat balls too. […]
