This does look like an easy recipe but since I would freak if I had to touch hamburger meat I will have to leave them for someone else.
Love the recipe, but an easy way to make the meatballs all the same size is to pat the meat mixture out on wax paper then cut into about 1″ strips (or as big or little as you would like your meatballs) and then cut the other way so you have squares. Don’t like your hands sticky from the meat, use throw-away gloves.
or u can use and icecream scoop to make them the same size:)
Great idea! Thanks!!
Love those super easy recipes. Thanks.
I've never made meatballs! GASP! I know right? But this looks SUPER easy I think I can. LOL
ive never made meatballs either but they look amazing !
I love meatballs! Thanks so much for this super simple reciped.

Great recipe…. I made these today to have with Faux Spaghetti for Superbowl, and they were so easy to make! I actually ended up with about 46 GOOD sized meatballs! My only complaint is that I think they were a tad bland, and thats even with the addition of some turkey italian sausage to the mix. Next time I will add more seasonings, but overall these were so quick, so easy and it made so many- I will definitely use this recipe again! Thanks!
Thanks Erica ~ yes, I too love how easy this recipe is! If you want to spice it up a bit, you might try adding in some Italian Seasoning.
Or… if you’re making them as an appetizer, try the Kickoff Meatballs Recipe ~ the sauce will add a lot of flavor.

These look really easy, but I don’t eat beef. Has anyone tried these with ground chicken or turkey? Would it cook for the same amount of time?
My family doesn’t eat beef either…. but they wanted spagetti and meatballs for dinner. Problem is I really don’t like making them — too many ingredients, yadda, yadda, yadda…
Luckily I found this recipe, tried it with stuffing, eggs, ground turkey, italian seasoning and 1 bulb of minced garlic… yummm….they are delish!
We didn’t bake the first batch — cooked them like I usually do boil in water first (to retain shape) then brown them with a little oil, which takes about an hour (give or take) but we are going to bake the next batch….
I’ll be making meatballs for my family more often now that I found this easy AND fast recipe. Many thanks!!!!
do u grease the foil….or the cookie sheet…?
You said a foil lined sprayed cookie sheet.
Hi Annie ~ I spray the foil. They’ll come off much easier after they’re done.

Is the dry stuffing mix like stovetop stuffing or just the dry pepperidge farm stuffing? I want to try these as frozen meatballs can add up. Thanks!
Hi Angela ~ I usually just use Stove Top Stuffing.

Making these today and freezing! Thanks for the easy recipe~
