Here is how you make The Best Meatballs You'll Ever Have:

You can do all the mixing in a food processor or: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, croutons, sweet onion, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red pepper flakes, and Cajun seasoning. Form the mixture by hand into meatballs. Do in oven - much better. Put on broliler plate at 350 for 20 minutes and then broil for 5 minutes to brown. You can skip the olive oil and butter.Reference: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Meatballs-Youll-Ever-Have/Detail.aspx4.5 with 156 responsesI added one extra clove of garlic per half pound of beef.I also did not follow the directions very well and actually mixed the butter and olive oil right into the whole mixture.I also added grated parmesan cheese as well...I then put them in a shallow glass baking dish with vegetable spray and baked them in the oven on 370 for 15 minuntes.After this I take them out along with all the juices in the bottom of the dish and cook them in plain old spaghetti sauce for about 15 minutes.The flavor goes into the sauce and is AMAZING.The meatballs end up being so tender that they just fall apart.Instead of crushed croutons, I crushed ritz crackers and added some dried parsley and basil. I used Creole seasoning instead of Cajun, and my mustard was of the dijon variety. Instead of cooking them on a skillet (no patience for that constant turning), I baked them in the oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes and they turned out perfectly.My husband, who usually doesn't care for meatballs with his spaghetti, declared these the best (even better than his grandma's). I was worried that the cajun spice wouldn't compliment the spaghetti sauce, but it was fine. I used very lean ground beef, browned the meatballs in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes, and let them finish cooking in a slow cooker with homemade spaghetti sauce for 2 hours.This is a great recipe...very tasty!, I made a few changes...left out pepper and cajun seasoning and added a tblspn of parmesan also substituted around a tblspn of onion powder for the onion. My fiance thought I slaved over these but what he don't know won't hurt'em!! Thanks for sharingThese meatballs have incredible flavor. I doubled the recipie and only put in one and a half tsp. of red pepper; they were spicy and good. I took the advice of other posters and baked them at 350 for 30 minutes. Once cooked, I added them to my basic spaghetti sauce and simmmered it for about an hour. I decided that I'd make meatball hoagies. Yummy! Once the meatballs and sauce were done cooking, I split up some good, crusty bagettes, added the meatballs a little sauce, motzerella and parmesean. Incredible. Everyone loved them and I have left overs for spaghetti. Love this recipe. I just used ground turkey instead of beef. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CRAIG_ANITA.
