The BEST Meatball Recipe

Hello, welcome. Thank you so much for being here!

Today I’m sharing a juicy, flavorful meatball recipe that works well with a variety of meats from beef to chicken and even venison.

The herby hints of rosemary and oregano bring incredible flavor to this amazingly versatile dish.

How can I serve these meatballs?

There are many, many ways to enjoy this dish!

  1. We like this with a Mediterranean twist by filling sourdough flatbreads with an assortment of veggies and toppings on top of these meatballs.
  2. This dish also delivers a powerfully flavorful meatball and marinara pasta sauce.
  3. Especially in the fall, I’ll serve these meatballs as the protein source in a grain bowl that features winter squash and roasted root veggies.
  4. In the summers I like to make these into mini burgers instead of meatballs and enjoy them on homemade buns.

It seems like the opportunities are endless! Leave some of the ways you’ve used them in the comments.
