Crazy Good Meatballs

I usually make meatballs when I crave them, and last night was no different. The funny thing is that I never know what I have for ingredients, other than the ground beef! And, each time I make them, I adjust the ingredients and amounts that I put in...i.e, the last time I made them, I added chopped raw onion and unfortunately that was all I could taste! I decided to use dried onion this time...good choice!

Here is my latest recipe (mind you, I don't measure anything, I add enough so you can taste and smell it):

~1 lb ground beef

Cut fresh arugula (I usually use parsley, but had none)

Dried onion (probably about 2 T)

2-3 garlic cloves crushed

Basil

~1 cup of breadcrumbs

~1/2 cup of milk

2 eggs

Shredded cheese

Salt & pepper

The key is to not over mix the meat. I basically cut in the ingredients with a fork, trying to keep it light and airy. I sprayed each meatball with canola oil, then placed them my sauce to cook. I find that this method creates moist and tender meatballs. They took about 20 minutes to cook. Yum!
