Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
• 1 egg

Make With

Progresso Breadcrumbs

Steps

• 1

  Heat oven to 400°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.

• 2

  In large bowl, mix all ingredients. Shape mixture into 24 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Place 1 inch apart in pan.

• 3

  Bake uncovered 18 to 22 minutes or until temperature reaches 160°F and no longer pink in center.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

• tip 1

  For evenly-sized meatballs that will cook in the same amount of time, pat the meat mixture into a 6x4-inch square. Cut into 24 squares. Roll each square into a ball.

• tip 2

  Mix things up by substituting 1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. (If using ground chicken, decrease milk to 2 tablespoons.) Bake until no longer pink in center and thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F.

• tip 3

  We're always fans of a dinnertime shortcut and a jar of store-bought pasta sauce is one of our favorites. But, if you have some time to spare or you're looking for homemade Sunday gravy or sauce, we think you might like our Easy Make-Ahead Pasta Sauce, which can be ready in as little as 40 minutes. Or try utilizing our hands-off Slow-Cooker Meaty Spaghetti Sauce, made with Italian sausage and mushrooms for an added boost of flavor.

More About This Recipe

• Baking, instead of pan frying, these meatballs allows you to speed up prep time and work on the rest of the meal while they're cooking. Use the baking time to create a first-course antipasto platter of meats and cheeses. Then pull together a Caesar salad, warm up garlic bread (right in the oven in which the meatballs are cooking) or steam some fresh vegetables to accompany the meal. When it's time for dessert, scoop up dishes of Neapolitan ice cream or fruity gelato, and you've created your own Italian feast. This baked meatball recipe has been a go-to classic for generations of home cooks, who rely on its precisely perfect proportions of meat, bread crumbs, milk, egg and seasonings. Once you've mastered the basics of how to make meatballs, you can try even more time-tested recipes and modern new twists from Betty's best meatball recipes collection.
