frozen? fresh? |
Every time I see this thread title, I think it sounds like a children’s book, in the same vein as “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” |
+1 |
Fresh (although I think they have frozen too). |
Different meatballs, different occasions. Almost every culture on the planet has some form of meatball or shaped ground meat. They are all wonderful. There is a time for Italian meatballs in red sauce, there is a time for chili-jam meatballs (this DP Midwesterner loves sour cherry jam and Bennett’s chili sauce for this) and Swedish meatballs and kofta and hambugu and everything else… |
Amen |
Make your own.
Just scale the batch. They won’t take too long. I’ve made these many times. This recipe is amazing: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220854/chef-johns-italian-meatballs/ |
PP — curious how you found/know about the fountain avenue kitchen site? I like it and and Genuinely curious, not meant to be a challenge! More on topic, I second the smitten kitchen recipe another PP linked. |
but op is looking for Italian meatballs |
interesting comparing this chef John recipe to the fountain Avenue Jen's recipe: John:Jen -- 1cup panko vs 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs; 1/2 cup parm vs 2T parm; 1 egg vs 2. And John does 1:1 ground beef and pork; Jen all beef. I guess that's just recipes but a little hard for newbies for make sense of it |
I think that the all beef ones by mama lucia are decent. They are tiny (bite sized) but come in a bag of 100 at giant for $10.
