These meatballs are really tasty! My husband grew up eating these meatballs. I've made a few changes to the original recipe, and we just love 'em. Dig in!

Ingredients For yummy mini meatballs

  • 1 lb
    ground beef, your choice, chuck or ground round
  • 1 sm
    onion, minced
  • 1
    egg, beaten
  • saltine cracker crumbs, from 18 crackers
  • 1/4 c
    milk
  • salt, pepper, and garlic powder

How To Make yummy mini meatballs

  • 1
    Mix the above ingredients together. Mix well, and season with salt, pepper, and shake of garlic powder.
  • 2
    I use a small melon scoop to form the meatballs, to keep consistency in their size.
  • 3
    I like to fry my meatballs in a small amount of "light" olive oil. (oil of your choice is fine) Fry in 2 batches, or in 2 pans at one time like I do. This gives you room in the pan to move the meatballs around.
  • 4
    Brown on all sides, and cook a few minutes in the pan.
  • 5
    Lots of options for these meatballs. They can be served as an appetizer, plain or in a BBQ sauce. For your main course they can be served plain, or in a brown gravy and served over rice, or with mashed potatoes.
