Notes
- Tin Foil: Line your pan with foil. Makes cleanup a snap!
- Ground Meat: you need 4 lbs. of ground chuck.
- Browning: Brown your meatballs on all sides. Brown at a medium heat so that the meatballs cook almost the whole way through while you are browning. Remember, don't mess with the meatballs while they are searing. Flip once you see the crust has formed about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Onions: NO! Not raw onions; for this recipe we are using French's Crispy fried Onions! I PROMISE it's so GOOD! Here's the link: https://amzn.to/3B9Ml03
- Sauce: Use a marinara or tomato sauce. Homemade is of course the best, but I love and used Rao's. Here's a link: https://amzn.to/3eq60z1
