These easy oven baked Italian Meatballs will be one of your favorite recipes! These meatballs are tender and juicy with the perfect amount of grated cheese and parsley in every bite! Done in just 35 minutes and add to your favorite sauce!
I like to do a good 1lb of each meat. If you have trouble finding ground veal, just check a specialty store. Make sure you mix the meat gently prior to adding ingredients. It helps to incorporate the three before hand. You’ll only want to quickly and gently incorporate the other ingredients with the meat, that way you don’t over mix. This can cause the meatballs to tougher than we’d like!
