Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Air fryer (optional)

Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs:

  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs plain, or saltine crackers
  • 1/2 cup beef broth low-sodium
  • 1 whole yellow onion small, minced or grated

Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine all of the meatball ingredients together EXCEPT for the ground meat and flour. Stir and rest for 10 minutes so breadcrumbs can soak up the liquid.
  • Add the meat and mix just until combined (don't over mix). Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop and roll about 16-18 large meatballs. Sprinkle them all around with a little bit of flour.
