With a combination of simple ingredients and an extraordinary taste, this recipe will help you prepare delicious and tender meatballs. In this post, we will show you not only how to prepare them, but also how to use Rimmed® baking paper for perfect results.
Ingredients for Meatballs
- 0.5 kg minced meat (preferably beef or pork)
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of biscuits
- 1 medium spoon of salt
- 1 medium teaspoon red pepper
- Black pepper, as desired
- Garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, optional
- Rimmed® Baking Paper
- Rimmed® plastic membrane
Preparation Steps
- Preparing the Meatball Dough: Start by placing the ground beef in a large bowl. Add the onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, red and black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix all the ingredients together until you create a smooth dough.
- Resting in the Refrigerator: After mixing, cover the bowl with Rimmed® Plastic Wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This step helps the ingredients bond well and gives the meatballs a deeper flavor.
- Shaping the Meatballs: After 3 hours, take the dough out of the refrigerator. Take small portions and shape into flat meatballs. Make sure all the meatballs are the same size so they cook evenly.
- Using Rimmed® Baking Paper: Line a baking sheet with Rimmed® baking paper. This paper is ideal for preventing meatballs from sticking and for easier cleanup after baking. Place the meatballs on the sheet, leaving space between them to allow for proper baking.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the pan with meatballs inside for about 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown.
