SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

MAMA'S BEST EVER SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS
I really liked this recipe - very easy! Found it in the TV Guide. Everyone liked it especially Abagail. I did more than 12 balls and would probably even make them smaller next time.

1# ground beef (uncooked)
1/2 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 jar (1# 10 oz) Ragu Old World Style Smooth Pasta Sauce
8 oz spaghetti, cooked

Combine beef, bread crumbs and egg; shape into 12 meatballs. Bring sauce to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in uncooked meatballs. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until meatballs are done.

Serve over hot spaghetti.

MEATBALLS
Found this way to do meatballs on Pinterest.  They were so easy and we all really liked it.

Mix all together:
1# hamburger
2 eggs, beaten with 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko or bread crumbs (did 1/2 panko 1/2 italian bread crumbs)
1 small onion, diced small
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp pepper
1/4 c minced fresh basil

Form into golf size meatballs.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes on cookie sheet that has been covered with tin foil and sprayed with Pam.
