This is the second installment of my kitchen basics series, and I am sharing my best ever homemade Italian meatball recipe. These meatballs are juicy, light, and the flavor is off the charts. It's all about using the 3 different meats for this meatball recipe and soaking some bread in milk to help lighten the meatball texture. I like to sear these these homemade meatballs in a hot pan to help form a tasty crust before finishing them in some homemade marinara sauce. I hope you guys enjoy my best ever recipe for homemade Italian meatballs and try them for yourself!

Bobby, this is one of your best shows. As an Italian, your version might be Polish, but they are Italian to the core. Thank you! Thank you!

Just have to say Thank you, thank you for this recipe .. I made it last night and had left overs today.. love it! My meatballs never were all that good but these are amazing! I'm starting to enjoy cooking which I never did before. I love having recipes that are easy to make and is healthy for me... it's a win win!! Recently I made the Cheddar Bay Biscuits and OMG they were so good so moist!! Please keep up the good work and giving such great information... priceless!!!!
Omg, I totally love you!😍 I made this and my entire family (3 kids and husband) was in heaven with the taste and texture. I absolutely love the recipe and will make this over and over again. Thank you so much! 💜 xox 😁
so happy to hear that!! woohoo
Just wanted to say how I appreciate your videos! You are a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hello fro Western Australia. I could eat meatballs all day. My mom and nonna used to make meatballs like this, but they used bread crumbs and a few eggs. Milk was in short supply which is why the use of eggs. Thank you for the informative video.
Dipping my hands in water so the ingredients won't stick that's genius I will definitely be trying your recipe your meatballs look so good.
hardest working chef on youtube, I love this channel! can I make a request for a video with a bunch of sauces that are good on different meats? and a bunch of dressings for salad? ive been feeling saucy :)
saucy alert!!!! this is a really good idea for a basics videos Jeanie. thanks for the love!!
Best meatballs I ever had!! So yummy so soft/fluffy/tender!! Thanks Bobby! I started to enjoy cooking following your recepies!
Finally an instructional video that recognizes those of us who have ethical problems with veal and gives us an alternative. Thank you. I'm a fan!
Great Video. All your tips and advice are spot on. Nothing is worse than watching and learning a recipe video with bad tips. Some people just want to make videos. You have done your homework over the years and it shows.
You have me so hangry at this point for those delicious looking meatballs....Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!
so glad you like the meatballs!
This man is one of the best on here as far as teaching you
I miss my Italain Grandma Millie flavor Old Italy meatballs with ground beef mix with Italian sausage and spices.It is so delicious and make you fall in love with her cooking in all of her homemade Italian dishes.Make she rest in Peace.
Making meatballs again. This year using beef and pork. Could not find veal. I used an electric grinder to prepare my meat 🥩 Excited about the outcome.
The most important lesson I learned from this video is the value of the splatterguard!
Made those today. I did not have ground beef, pork, and veal. I used venison meat. They came out delicious! The best meatballs I ever made:)) And your marinara sauce recipe is the best! You're awesome! Thanks so much for all your great videos:))
Oh berother!!!! Do they look good. I never thought to sautee carrot and celery as a base for my sauce. I sautee garlic in olive oil with a pat of butter. I add some of my Rao's and let it bubble a bit then I add diced tomato that I put through the sieve. This way I don't need to add sugar because I've strained out the skins. Mine is zesty but not hot, a nice sunny and rich tomato flavor. I'd like to try the carrot celery thing though! Thank you for posting.
Best chef on RUclips, hands down. I like how Bobby always explains the reason behind something (use this pan, buy this tomato, let it sit for 15min because of this)….awesome. These meatballs are bomb !
Thanks so much for the nice words! Happy you love the meatballs too (I love them!)!!!
Thanks Babby for always giving tips on your recipes! I made meatballs and chicken wings with your recipes and they were super delicious and tasty😘🔥
Awesome Bobby. I live in Italy and these are exactly like the ones we make here. I only use fresh herbs and fresh chopped garlic in the mixture. Absolutely delicious.
Elevating some humble ingredients. Have made similar, but like your use of dried garlic and onion powders. This totally works. I want an offset spatula. Always learn something from your channel. Cheers Bobby.
thanks henry...oh that reminds me..i need to put the offset spatula in the description box..thanks
Bobby speaking Bulgarian is the best thing ever! You and Dessi are awesome. Keep up the good work and the tasty recipes. Много поздрави от България
merci nogu!!!! Thanks for the love from the BG!
I am snowed in today trying many meatball recipes. I found frying is much better than baking them. I did finish them off in the oven.
I cooked it for my husband, he ate them, it was the only time he every ate my food, before he hated anything I cooked.Thank you
Mel Feras that’s good your husband And you won’t have to break up
@@robertmalone3997 😂
Macros per meatball! Yes! Thank you so much for all the work you do
i know right...i am a details man ;)
I can't remember EVER binge-watching a cooking show, but you got this Nana doing it. I can't get enough of your recipes. I'm exhausted but happy as hell with how my dishes are turning out. You're smart and funny and I'm thoroughly enjoying your presentations. I've also watched your visits to Costco and Trader Joe's, and had fun stocking up. Unfortunately, your splash guard (metal handle) is unavailable now (I have a feeling I know why!). Keep it coming, we appreciate you!
you are so sweet helen, thanks much!! you can take a nap from binging now ;) Here a different guard I recommend now..amzn.to/2Mkb8Wj
Thank you so much for the olive oil tips! I did not know that regular olive oil had such a high smoke point. I've only ever used evoo. I love your channel!
thanks Becky! Save the evoo for drizzling at the end ;) but to e honest..i cook with evoo from costco..the price is right!
@@BobbyParrish I guess you are aware, but Olive oil become toxic when you heat it too much. It`s not recommendable to use it for this purposes :) or say it on Bulgarian : Зехтина става токсичен при високи температури и не се препоръчва да се пържи с него :) Regards.
Thank you Bobby. I am watching always yours videos excellent 😄🙏
So, I followed your recipe last night except no veal (could not find) and garlic powder (I am allergic). This was fantastic. tks
Jeff Childs if you look for a meatloaf mix at the supermarket it usually comes with 1/2 of each already put together in a pack
@@ifynweke4953 Tks for the info, but I am kinda picky about where I shop. I go to an old fashioned butcher who has all organic beef, including grass-fed. I turns out that they have veal in the frozen section.
Those meatballs looks amazing! For Keto, could you substitute crushed pork skin for the bread crumbs? Thanks!
@Bobby Parrish I'm years late... I'm so used to bell peppers and onions in meatballs. IDK how/why fam did. Maternal great grandpa Italian (long gone b4 me), paternal grandma was a maid/cook for Italian family. But not sure she used bell peppers, def remember onions. I miss her recipe! Was better than my moms- both gone now)
Just gained a new subbie! Macros per meatball, plus thoughtful keto tips! Bro!... You got me. This looks divine
I made these tonight...in fcat i'm eating 4 of them right now with a pile of Gluten free pasta, slice of bread, and some broccoli ...all I can say is anyone here who is thinking of trying this recipe just DO IT!!!!! they are awesome!!!!!
i have never made meatballs in my life.....or homemade sauce for that matter, but sometime this winter I am gonna give it a try using your recipes! thank you!
Just made these meatballs, not the sauce, they are Fantastic! Thank you Bobby! My husband Loved them as well! I’m cooking up the Biscottis right now, they too are Amazing! Both are Full of Flavor.... But on FlavCity we couldn’t expect less!
Looks delicious Bobby! Thanks for looking out for your Keto fam. Your channel is literally the best! :)
I always do Kandy, much appreciated
❤️🙌🏻👨🏼🍳👩🏻🍳
I just made the meatballs today. Minus the cheese 🧀 because I could not find it. They taste good 😋😋 . Really tasty 😋 Thank You
Thank you .. I did not know about the olive oil at the end. I was raised in an Italian family and I don't recall my family doing that. Awesome. Hugs
Actually olive oil can’t stand high heat temperatures because you destroy it’s properties and becomes acidic. Sunflower 🌻 or coconut oil are able to resist high temperatures. So if you use olive oil it would only be for its flavor otherwise it’s only meant to be used in dressings and benefit from its wonderful and amazing health properties 😌
I made your Italian meatballs tonight....I’m in Ireland and we’re 6 hours ahead of Chicago....wow! An instant hit!
Hey man! I am loving your channel! Just discovered it today during lunch. I love cooking, huge passion of mine. I've been looking for some great RUclipsrs, and you've got yourself a new sub! Looking forward to supporting and watching all your videos.
Cheers!
YASSSSS these look amazing. I love your videos but I wasn’t sure if I’d see you using bread in your recipe. THANK YOU for using real bread soaked in milk. I’ll be making these tomorrow! 😁
Very nice. I will love to try this with vegetable rice 🍚 thanks
Hm, I never do my meatballs with bread or other fillings (perhaps except for raw rice in meatballs for avgolemono), I always thought it was there just to lower the price (more meatballs, less meat). I think I reconsider it and compare the textures. Thanks for the explanation.
defo about texture..not price! and i love avgolemono!
Looks delicious. I'm here at work salivating!!!!
I am trying that recipe this week for my husband! I know he will love them!🌻Thank you!
Jeanne Strauss Can you let me know how they turn out pls ? i cook for my family and currently my grandpa is known for having the best meatballs and i wanna take his spot lol
Bravo. These look delicious in your pomodoro sauce. Where I am, they add these on top of purè (mashed potatoes). Ciao from Treviso, Italy!
Great recipe.. I will have my kitchen staff order all of the ingredients from New York delis and prepare this meal for me in California. Thanks-
Invite me
Oh YUM I will have to try out this recipe! I'm loving your colorful kitchen!
thanks much!! let me know how it goes!
I was lazy and finally tried now. Love it so much!! But shimmering part was different for me. After 20 mins opening lid on sauce pan, still meatball inside was a bit rare which was pink colour. I think I can get full same ingredient especially tomato sauce. We don't have it in Korea, so i used different brand. But i still loved it. Thank you :)
RI Italians use eggs instead of milk in the bread.
Stick slices of bread in blender and pulse it a couple of times. Fresh bread crumbs.
I just finish watching your video....I really love the way your explain everything...funny your name is bobby I jump into see it and it was you....guess what I just subscribed n I would be watching you....thank you for what you are doing....💕
thanks so much for the sub, we really appreciate it!
Glad we found your spectacular channel. You have terrific recipes
Love those meatballs..gotta try them...BTW, my Mom taught me the breadcrumb in milk trick for moist meatloaf...works great (and she’s not Italian!) ☺️💕
Omg they look amazing. Going to make this recipe. I'm in Australian and never heard of those tomatoes you mentioned so will have to settle for some other brand
san marzano tomatoes??? just use any good quality tin tomatoes...i am coming to aussie in march and will investigate ;)
Just saw this now yum looks delicious will be making your crackers bbq sauce and cauliflower fried rice as well your bagels biscotti bread and muffins soon for my office lunches and snacks saw your dad on your stories today finally you finally uploaded the video on Friday other days you uploaded the videos now you are back to uploading the videos on Friday my comments are still there on your posts and community tabs didnt delete them if you need the sun come to Singapore for sun and raining love your dad and stories always birghten up my day love your videos making me hungry Thanks Ramya
that sounds great Ramya..enjoy!
I tried to find those meatballs at Aldi’s, still no luck. I’m excited you have a meatball video!
Bobby can you do a section on how you keep your cutting board so clean. I see you cutting all kinds of stuff on it yet it does not appear stained or in bad condition. I love using wooden boards but they get stained and I keep hearing they are bad for bacteria. I do have the plastic ones for meats, fish, chicken and veggies to lessen cross contamination for meal preps but I keep my wooden ones for bread, baking and day to day stuff.
karen, you are the 2nd person to ask that today...so yes..i will d it! wash wit hot soapy water after each use and rub down with mineral oil and paper towels every few weeks to keep the wood shiny and new looking ;) never use cooking oil...only mineral..buy at cvs
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish thanks Bobby rhe mineral oil was the step I was missing.
I always put the meat mixture on a cutting board, press it gently into an oblong about an inch and a half high, cut it into squares the size that you want the meatballs to be, then shape. This way they’re all the same size and you don’t have to keep digging into the mixture.
I like the 3 meats ! Beef, veal and pork delicious!
That's the way Nawny showed me to make meatballs and tomato sauce. Exactly right and magnificent. BTW. What to add a special effect. Add pork ribs to the sause at first then the balls. The ribs add a pork flavor falls off the bones. Simmer for hour and half then add balls last half hour. Manga bene. Stay true to heritage and can't go wrong.
That sounds amazing! Thanks!
Every Italian cook calls it the holy trinity.
It looked delicious. I could tell by your man's reaction they were awesome!! Do you have a recipe for ravioli? I've never made them and my grand daughter loves them. By the way, do you eat the meatballs alone, or on spaghetti?
Thanks! I do not have a ravioli recipe. I can eat these with spaghetti or without.
Sautéed chopped mushrooms in butter -add with some Parmesan & mozzarella cheese to meat mixture instead of breadcrumbs if one wants Keto- the mushrooms add a nice lighter texture.
Hey Bobby, exactly what pan do you use in this video to sear the meatballs? Thanks!!
They look delicious along with that sauce. Yum.
I know you always say don’t put cold meat into a hot pan does this rule still apply to meatballs?
good question! that does not apply to ground meat.bc if it warms up, it will get mushy
Very well done. Your videos all have a good vibe and are quite informative. Looking forward to more from this new subscription!
Thanks Bobby for the great recipe. I got to make them tomorrow. I m going to try it.😉😉😉
This is the exact recipe I needed! Can I freeze them for future meals? In a freezer zip lock?
Looks delicious 😋, what is a good substitute for red wine in the sauce ( cause Muslims are not allowed to have alcohol ) ? Thank you
In my country, Serbia, we prep meatballs this way and call it : Cufte u sosu 💓 You are great chef!
Thanks! My wife is Bulgarian, and they call it kiufte as well.
@@BobbyParrish 💓
Sir I have recently joined ur channel, I have to say this u r making delicious 😋 food 🥘! I’ll try that one ☝️. Thank you 😊
thanks so much!
Tried so many youtube recipes for meatballs, this is superior by far
Thanks for the recipes, love them all. But too bad I can’t eat pork. Could you suggest an alternative ?
50/50 ground beef and veal..will still be great!
Didnt have veal so used pork, beef and chopped prosciutto. These are hands down the lightest most flavorful meatballs ever.
oh wow..great call with the prosciutto!
The main reason I don't deep fry with olive oil is that it costs about $25 per gallon.
Neither do us italians, it s just stupid and waste of money
Can you please explain the difference between ground beef and minced beef. Sorry but I am still young and just starting cooking and am on the quest for making healthy choices
Thank you Bobby you the best
I watched your video on the meatballs to see if your recipe was any different than mine..but actually its just about the same as mine. I do one other recipe that just uses Italian sausage and beef. Your meatballs look superlicious!
I just made the softest and tastiest meatballs ever, thanks to Bobby!!!
You never disappoint! Just brilliant!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
thanks Klimt..i try not to ;)
Sorry Bobby, I am confused. Other tube said coconut oil has a higher smoke point...so there's conflicting opinions of the claim. Is there any way we can test them side by side once and for all, 😅? Love your postings on Tubes. Thanks.
Thanks mine always come out compact and hard. I will try this method.
Meatballs look amazing! Going shopping tomorrow to make my own
Awesome recipe!! Just got your book. Making something new everyday. Quick question. My meatballs were falling apart during cooking. Any tips on what I did wrong.
Todd Etter my guess would be not enough egg or tooo much breadcrumbs.
I have a dairy/milk allergy... if I wanted to make these meatballs, but needed to leave out the cheese, what would you suggest as an alternative binder in the meatball recipe?
soak the bread in unsweetened almond or rice milk...and use nutritional yeast instead of cheese!
Awesome. Thank you!!
Love your videos and recipes!
Can’t wait to make this for the hubby tonight ! 😻😻
👍🏼
WOW, awesome! Keep 'em coming, I subbed. Delicious and not difficult, give it a try!
If I'm not using the marinara sauce do I just cook them on the pan longer?
Awesome will be trying this recipe thanks 😃
Home Depot breadcrumbs lol 😝 I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣
Yum cant wait to make them!! Love your videos keep them coming
thanks so much, enjoy.. make sure to review the recipe our new site ;)
4:43😂😂🤣😂🤣. I’m Trying to Follow his recipe, but when he said “ squashyballs”... I busted out Laughing!!! Lol. I was Done 😂😂😂😂😂
Good video and lots of information thank you!
love this going to make it tonight
Would any combination of ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken work? I'm just trying to avoid pork
