    I've made this recipe 4 times since this video was posted. It's definitely become a family favorite. Sometimes I've baked the meatballs instead of frying them just to make things even simpler. (375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes until their internal temperature reads above 160).

    JULIA. THESE MEATBALLS. OMG. I made a batch of these (using ground turkey) last night and reheated them for dinner. My mom and I both agreed they're among the best meatballs we've ever had. She was shocked when I told her they weren't beef because the taste AND texture were so good. Honestly, I don't see a reason to use any other meatball recipe again. These are just PERFECT as written and were 100 percent done in like 40 minutes.
    One thing I want to note: Classico brand jarred pesto, in the pasta aisle, is nut-free. That's what I used because I'm allergic to nuts. I don't think the meatballs suffered at all from using the stuff on the shelf. Still had plenty of oil in them, too.

The combo was perfect! Truly the easiest & best tasting recipe that will become a staple.

    I am a big fan of homemade meatballs. I use 2 lbs ground beef, 90%, 1 lb pork and 1 lb turkey. I scoop onto a sheet pan and bake at 375-400 for 30-40 min, on the bottom half of the oven, until brown. I remove 3/4 to cool and bag for the freezer - no Costo meatballs for me. Then I drain the oil and scrape drippings in the skillet for the sauce. Added bonus of Quick meals in the freezer.
