Simple (but Good) Meatballs
This is one of those meals that I put together when I don't feel like working too hard or too long, but want something warm and tasty. Comfort food!
Makes about 12 small meatballs
1/2 lb ground chuck
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs (prepared)
1 egg
1/4 t basil, dried
dash garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
red wine
Combine all ingredients except for wine in a medium-sized bowl and blend till well mixed.
Wet hands with wine and form meatballs about the size of a golf-ball. Keep wetting hands so the meat does not stick to them.
Pan fry over medium heat, covered, for about 10 minutes. Add to a pot of half spaghetti sauce / half crushed tomatos (canned). Simmer for about 25 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
Serve over pasta and garnish with a sprinkle of more basil.
