Creamy Garlic Parmesan Meatballs Recipe

Below are the ingredients you should have before making these meatballs. I will also give some simple instructions to help you achieve the best, flavorful garlic parmesan meatballs. 

Ingredients:

Here are the ingredients you need:

• 500 g (1 lb) ground meat (beef, pork, or mix)
• 1 small onion, very finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2–3 tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating)
• 2–3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• 1 tsp paprika (plus extra for garnish)

Optional boost: 1 small garlic clove, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder). It will make the sauce tastier.

Easy Step-by-Step:

The first step is to mix the meatball mixture.

Simply combine ground meat, chopped onion, the egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Mix everything until it is combined. 

Afterwards, roll the mixture into even balls. The size of a golf ball is good enough.

Then coat each ball by lightly rolling it in flour to help it brown nicely.

Fry the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat.

Ensure they are golden brown on all sides. 

Remove and set aside. 

Make the sauce by pouring cream into THE SAME SKILLET.

Then add paprika (and garlic if using). Stir everything well.

Then return the meatballs to the pan (with the sauce) and simmer for up to 12 minutes. 

Occasionally, turn the meatballs until they are properly cooked through and the sauce slightly thickens.

Your meatballs are ready to serve. Just sprinkle them with extra paprika for color.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, pasta, or bread. 

Can I Use a Different Type of Meat?

Yes, you can use a different type of meat. Ground pork, chicken, or turkey are great alternatives instead of beef. 

Additionally, you can use a mix of meats. For example, beef and pork go together. This boosts the flavor of your meatballs. 

Just ensure the total meat weight is the same for it to have the right texture.

Easy Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions:

If you want to make your meatballs ahead or store them for future use, follow these simple instructions:

• Shape the meatballs a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them.
• For leftover cooked meatballs, store them in an airtight container. They can last up to 3 days in the fridge. 
• If you want to store them for up to 3 months, place them in a freezer-safe container (after they’ve cooled completely) and freeze.
• When you’re ready to eat them, reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until hot.

Enjoy these delicious baked meatballs with your loved ones for a restaurant-quality dinner. It is the easiest way to make a classic delicacy without much fuss.
