The title of this post may be misleading. The most accurate title may be “Meatballs that are quite tasty and are also easy to make” but that was a little long and also not as catchy, so I shortened it down to its current title. Journalistic integrity, you may ask? Oh please, I know the only things you care about are scandals and sensationalist meatball titles!
To make four servings:
- 1 lb lean ground beef (I’ve also used ground chicken)
- 3/4 cup crushed seasoned croutons / bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard (I prefer dijon)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, but tasty)
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (I used whatever we had in the pantry)
The directions are really complicated, so listen up. Mix everything together and then form them by hand into meatballs. Then, you can (1) melt some butter and heat them over medium heat, turning constantly for 20 minutes, or (2) grease a baking dish and bake them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I opted for the latter because I find that to be easier, and so I’m less liable to screw up.

OK, I realize the picture does not do the tastiness justice. You’re just going to have to trust me on this one.
Anyway, I used this to make spaghetti and meatballs, but I’m sure you could find some other meatball-related dishes to combine with this, such as Swedish meatballs, a meatball sub, and meatball ice cream. Delightful.
