Thank you for watching! Have you made these Everyday Meatballs? Do you make any adaptations - what do you serve them with? I want to hear all about it below!

Deb, you’ve just absolutely nailed these cooking videos. Perfect length, in a real kitchen, and you’ve done a wonderful job with this first set of videos showcasing some of your best and most treasured recipes. I was just saying to my husband last night I was craving these meatballs, and so it was such a delight to see you cooking them today. ❤️

Love that you use easy to find ingredients and kitchen tools that real people can use

Nice meatballs. But the parsley comment got me...my son (31) used to complain that I put “grass” in everything.

Please don't leave us!!! I enjoy your episodes so very much...I can make these recipes, I'm pretty sure and you make it seem so easy. I've been reading your online recipes for ages. Your channel is a welcome addition.

My family loves these meatballs! My 3 year old watched this video with me and she asked, “Is she going to make spaghetti with these meatballs? Does she even know how to make spaghetti?” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I told her, “Deb knows how to make everything!” 😊

Love ur videos! Can't wait to try this

I’ll be making these soon for my elderly aunt. I think she’ll love them and I’ll get to have some too.💕Thanks, Deb!

Love this!

Deb! I love this recipe, this is the kind of meatball I grew up eating in Argentina, my Grandma used to chopped garlic sometimes and in the later years she put some wheat germ to make us eat it! Now I want meatballs!

I love these videos! Please make more! I'm going to try these meatballs.

Making these this weekend!!

DEFINITELY make more videos ... I love, love, LOVE your recipes, style and cookbooks!!

These look great!

Deb I have so enjoyed watching your cooking videos this summer! You’re a natural in front of the camera and I have loved seeing you shine. This has been a great reminder of some of the Smitten Kitchen greatest hits. I’ve made two of the recipes so far!

Delicious 😁 I love the whole channel ❤️

You rock! I love all of your you tube recipes!!!

So fun to watch you cook!!! Can’t wait to make these meatballs.

Love you Deb!! Thank you so much!!

Love it! one of my old time favorite. Thank you!

They look delicious! Will be making them soon.

Totally enjoyed this video

omg i havent looked at your website for a long time but its my go to site for a long time! i finally see and hear you! hello and thank you always!

Love the videos! Keep making more. I made the farro tomato recipe for the first time because of the video. Now it's a staple! I need to try this meatball recipe. I usually make your perfect meatballs but this one sounds good too.

Yum!! Another smashing recipe, Deb! Our favorite Deb meatballs are the Marsala Meatballs but I might have to try these out soon. I hope you’ll be able to make more videos, it’s so fun to watch you cook!

This is one of my all time faves from your site. Watching you and hearing your voice after around a decade of reading your blog and cookbooks and swearing by your recipes… well I’m just a lil verklempt over here. Thanks for all you do! Good food for real lives ❤️

Made them, they came out great. Thanks Deb.

Oh my Goodness Deb!! I have been a long time lurker on your website loving all your recipes for the Past ten years and I had no idea you had a KZfaq Channel I am so excited for this yesssssssss

Your videos are so very well done. I've made most of your recipes and will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing your fun job with us!! yum......

I just made these for my grandkids for lunch. They loved 🥰 them!!! Thanks for sharing they’re super easy, hearty and above all delicious. I didn’t even do the breadcrumbs for low carb. Yum 😋!!!

Delicious! I will make these often, my family appreciated the taste and lightness. Great combination of everything! Thanks for posting and sharing. I love your videos. I've made a number of your recipes...

Amazing recipe

Followed you for years and have always appreciated your wonderful recipes and stories. So glad I can now watch you on KZfaq! Your amazing personality shines!

Long time fan of your blog. So chuffed you're on youtube now :)

Love your recipes and especially love these. You make everything so appealing and easy. You are the absolute cutest.

I love that you show your bloopers great recipe

Made these tonight and they were amazing! Served them with garlic bread and salad, perfect for any night of the week or weekend!

Thank you for these wonderful videos!

Please keep the videos coming!!!

You are such a real person and great!!

I made these last night along with your garlic bread recipe….absolutely delicious! I used a combo of beef, pork, and veal as that’s what my store had. And wow…your recipe produces such a light and incredibly moist meatball.The red sauce was so simple yet so much flavor. Thanks so much Deb!!

I love these videos and I hope you do another season. I've made two of these recipes since they've launched!

Your Meatball and Sauce recipe is my go to favorite.

Those look wonderful and on the garlic bread - sublime! Thanks you saucy girl, you!

Love this recipe! We recently made it with Impossible ground meat and still very good.

I definitely need to make these. Thank you, Deb!

I don't even eat meat but I love Smitten Kitchen so I had to watch! All your new videos are the best! You are a natural in so many ways.. I hope you keep on making these ( the videos and the meatballs too)🤣

I finally made these meatballs last night. They are the best meatballs I have ever made. Thank you for sharing.

I cant get enough of these videos. Deb acts like a regular person. So charming!

I love these videos. Watching them in sweltering August and seeing the snow outside your window is great. Meatballs are awesome!

Your garlic press does an amazing job compared to all the ones I've used. Also, I'm going to have to make these!

I make these meatballs ALL. THE. TIME!!! They are a constant in the dinner meal rotation at my house and I always make a double batch. I often use jarred spaghetti sauce if I'm in a hurry (sorry...and yours looks better with the crushed tomato version). It's great to see the video as I realize I make mine smaller and I'm always concerned about them being submerged in the sauce. Nice to see that's not a necessity. These go over pasta for the kids and rice for the adults for less gluten. And sometimes they go over a baked potato with some mozz melted on top! Thank you for so many tried and true recipes.

I will DEFINITELY be making these in the near future 🤩

You bring me joy, whether I’m watching you or reading you. I love cooking your recipes. Totally putting these on the weekend menu.

I've been cooking for 50+ years and have made many, many meatballs. I've always enjoyed meatballs so much so I'd say I truly love a good meatball. I've made my own recipes, followed recipes of well known chefs and home cooks and combinations of all those, with very satisfying results. Tonight I tried your Everyday Meatballs recipe. I followed it precisely which is highly unusual for me, but I trust your recipes having used several of them in the past. These are so good, so easy, so wonderful that I may have to make them twice a week for a while! That would take care of 4 dinners for us. They are truly good. Down to earth, I love you meatball good. We enjoyed them with the garlic bread. It was divine. Thank you for this recipe, I'm sad I've gone 50+ years without it and somewhat angry about that as well. Look at all the delicious meatballs I've missed out on! Thank you Deb Perelman, I'm forever grateful and one of your biggest fans!

Am making these again without the pepper flakes. They are perfect. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

My recipe is similar, but I use ricotta instead of milk and eggs, and I bake them for 15 minutes before adding them to the sauce. It renders out some of the fat which is left behind on the baking sheet. I look forward to trying your recipe to see how they compare! It took me SO long to get my meatball recipe to where I loved them!

Making meatballs just became simpler for me and a definite to try!!!

Yuuuum! I’m gonna make these tomorrow. What brand pan do you use?

I've been following your channels since college, more than a decade! I so love that you have video content now. 🥰 Love your recipes and stories around them

I NEVER make meatballs since every recipe I've tried ended badly (hard meatballs are not a good thing). You inspired me to try again and I will now make these as often as I can get away with. My husband asked me what was in the sauce because it was so good. So easy to make with nothing fussy. I served them just like you did, with just bread (and a salad for something green). Thank you for adding a lovely dish to my recipe list!

I make these allll theeee timeeee!! Thanks Deb. Sometimes if I'm feeling up to it I'll bake them first lol, or bake them directly in the sauce, then sprinkle shtedded mozzarella over towards the end and let it melt into a glorious mess ( I think you recommended this when you first wrote the recipe). For reaaalllyyy special occasions I splurge on parsley haha (it is very dear in Singapore and I am not great at growing things, plus our climate....) - chloe

These were great and so easy! I had mine on garlic toast per your suggestion and that was delicious!

This was.the perfect meal I took to my friends when both got Covid together. I also included the garlic bread. the flavor was delicious , after an illness you need flavor , but comfort flavor. It is a one pot deal.

oh gosh I adore your vids! so down to earth and helpful. I am vegetarian but cook meat for my family of carnivores. LOL This looks like such an easy recipe. Thank you!

Hi Deb! What type of pan do you use? It looks so sturdy, I love it.

I AM GOING TO MAKE THESE!!!! I love the no fry method and all of the easy ingredients!!!

Deb - these are delicious and easy. I made them but didn’t have tomatoes so used Pasata and it still worked well. I made chicken and they were awesome. My partner walked into the house and immediately said ‘Wow dinner smells great!’

This is so similar to my recipe! I cook mine on a parchment lined sheet pan in a 400 degree oven before adding them to my sauce. I use only 1 egg.. 1/2 cups milk and because I am Italian, a lot more cheese! Lol. Thanks for your recipes, I have been following you since about 2013.. before your first book. Love all you do. ❤

I made these vegetarian by swapping Impossible burger 1:1 and they were delicious and omnivore approved.

I can't remember if I reviewed this recipe but we just ate some I had in the freezer and LOVED them all over again. They are the BEST meatballs ever! My husband couldn't resist eating them while recovering from a dental appointment! Too funny! I think the aroma of them cooking is so addictive! I have two lots left in the freezer for meatball sandwiches and then I need to make another HUGE batch again! Thanks for this wonderful flavor!

Eating dinner while watching this and someone I'm hungry again. These look perfect. Thanks for being so real with all your tips, especially with kiddos.

Mmmm...I look forward to trying these, and not having to brown them. A few years ago, I started using the oven to brown meatballs. It still made a mess, but it was contained and I have a self cleaning oven. But I bet these are more tender by being dropped in the sauce without that step! And on garlic bread...Yum!

I think you make a lot of "the most perfect bites anyone could want" Thank you!

Look delicious, will definitely try! The black pan with lid you are using, can you tell me where to buy? Thanks Deb, love your recipes!!

These are by far the BEST meatballs ever! My italian mother in law refuses to make meatballs anymore, because these are so good. I generally skip the parsley because I don't have it, unless if I'm doing a special dinner for company. I double the parmesan, because why wouldn't you? lol. I use seasoned italian breadcrumbs, and I use canned tomato sauce, because I like the texture better. Don't tell anyone, but I also use jarred chopped garlic! Unless same with the parsley, if I'm doing a special dinner for company. So, so good! I also love that it happens to be the perfect amount of sauce for a pound of spaghetti. Thank you so much for this recipe, along with so many of your others! PLEASE keep up with these videos, they're so great! Perfect length, too. Don't change a thing!

delicious!

I JUST got hungry …I need this❤❤in my life especially on that type of bread❤

Looks so delicious! You’re adorable!

These are the only meatballs I make! They are truly delicious. Sometimes I bake them in the oven and pop them into the freezer.

Trinity of beef and fresh parsley the key.....YUMMY

Everyday meatballs Yield: 22 to 24 small (about 1.5-inch or 1.5 tablespoon) meatballs 1 pound ground meat (I use a mix of beef and pork) 2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs or 1/2 cup panko 1/3 cup milk or water 2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional) 2 teaspoons coarse or kosher salt, divided Pinches of red pepper flakes or few grinds of black pepper 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 2 large eggs 2 garlic cloves, minced, divided 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 28-ounce can of tomato puree or crushed tomatoes

I love these meatballs. I’m putting them on my menu plan, but with spaghetti.

I use pork and beef, ground fennel, and ricotta cheese. OMG wonderful.

I made these so many times, my absolute staple for a bowl of comfort. In my opinion best served on top of creamy buttery mashed potatoes ❤️ thank you so much Deb for this recipe

Your kid saying she was ‘maybe’ going to eat them was hilariously relatable. Definitely gonna give these a try.

I make these often, especially in cooler weather. They're great with pasta (or in my case, zoodles or hearts of palm pasta), or just by themselves! I usually go with beef or a beef/pork blend, but I've used ground chicken before, and that has turned out really well (but the chilling step is key).

Oh my my MY!!!! Easy and absolutely DELICIOUS 🤤❤️ just finished making these meatballs and I am already planning when to make the again! All beef today, pork-beef mix next time! Juicy tender the best meatballs I’ve had! 🥰

I love this recipe, I have been making it since 2017 when I saw your Facebook post. I eat them with pasta, on a sub or plain they are the perfect meatball and I usually fry so this is so much easier.

Ooh, thank you for reminding me of this amazing recipe - dinner tonight is sorted!

I use your other meatball recipe for meatloaf :-). I've hardly evr made meatballs because all that rolling and browning. But I'm totally boggled by the idea of making them just by tossing them in the sauce. Will absolutely try them, thanks for the demo.

'...or with a side of salad, and by salad I mean garlic bread.' :D This is why I love SK.

I make mine similar but without the tomatoe sauce, my whole family loves them with mashed potatoes and gravy. Definitely will be trying these

thanks, deb. rave reviews from all three of us here. love the one bowl/one pot deal. and we ate them in a bowl with parm grated on top and no pasta or bread even needed! they were a perfect summer meal. like everyone else, loving your videos. thanks.

Beautiful recipe!! I am going to do this today except I don’t have ground pork so I will use some Italian sausage. Hope it will work! Thanks Deb!!

I made your delicious meatballs for dinner. They were amazing!! Not to soft but perfect. I love the idea of just letting them cook and not touching them for the 20 minutes. Family loved them. Thank you!!!

Oooo this looks delicious! can’t wait to make it! I am allergic to aged cheese so as you mentioned I will omit that. How long should I leave myself for making and cooking them. P.S. Are there any soft cheeses I could maybe substitute the parmesan with! I’m allergic to aged cheese. 🌷 Thank you!

Making a double batch in a snowy Scotland. Sick kids so the softness of these won out over another recipe. I use chopped tomato and passata for the sauce, and put a lot more cheese in the meatballs.

They look so good, thanks for sharing! Do you have a recipe for the bread to go along with these meatballs? Blessings from Canada!

I make these all the time, usually with your kale caesar from SK everyday and heaps of fresh parm grated overtop!
