Thats a spicy meatball!

No, it's actually not, but it could be!

The other day, I made spaghetti and meatballs following a recipe from the food network. It was decent, but there was SO MUCH GARLIC! and I'd used less than what they had called for!

I thought I'd modify it a bit and share with you, so here goes nothing!

1/2 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon finely diced onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh italian parsley--i used 'regular' parsley because I couldn't get Italian. It worked fine and the flavor was still good!
1/4 cup shredded romano cheese (if you don't want to get this cheese, just use Parmesan!)

Preheat oven to 350!
1. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix them with your clean hands. don't be a baby! get your hands in there! If the mixture doesn't seem to stick together well, add a little bit of extra bread crumbs and work it so that it all sticks together.
2. Put a little bit of olive oil on a baking sheet and spread it around with a paper towel. If you have the spray on olive oil, use that...but I don't have any so I didn't!
3. Form little golf-ball sized meatballs and place them on your baking sheet. I think you'll have about 12-15 meatballs.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the juices of the meatball run clear.

This would be good with some red pepper flakes or something to make it a little spicy...if that's your bag.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Happy Cooking!
