Description

These Manx Meatballs offer a comforting, rustic flavor profile perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy appetizer. Made with extra-lean ground beef, they are tender yet substantial, bound together with egg and seasoned breadcrumbs. The addition of garlic powder provides a warm aromatic backbone, while the ketchup adds a subtle sweetness and rich color. Baked until golden brown, these meatballs develop a deliciously crisp exterior while remaining juicy inside. They are incredibly versatile; serve them warm as a snack, toss them into a pasta sauce, or enjoy them straight from the plate with a side of fresh vegetables. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe delivers satisfying, home-cooked goodness without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, ketchup, garlic powder, and all dry breadcrumbs.
  3. Mix ingredients thoroughly by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  4. Shape the mixture into uniform small balls, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  5. Place the meatballs on a broiler rack or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
