ingredients for Blackstone Meatballs
- Hamburger – An 80/20 ground beef is best for meatballs.
- Ground pork – Adds great flavor to these meatballs.
- Panko – We use Italian style to amp up the flavor. Regular bread crumbs will also work if that is what is available to you.
- Onion – Diced yellow or white onion work best.
- Milk – This will add moisture. Whichever type of dairy milk you have in your fridge already is perfect.
- Eggs – Large eggs work to bind the meatballs together.
- Shredded cheese – We use a blend of Parmesan, mozzarella and cheddar.
- Seasonings – Seasoned salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder.
- Olive oil – This is used to fry the meatballs on the Blackstone flat top grill.
what is the secret to moist meatballs?
The secret to moist meatballs is adding milk to your meatball mixture. This breadcrumbs will soak up the milk and you will have juicy meatballs.
How to grill meatballs on the blackstone
Add all ingredients, except olive oil, to a large bowl and use your hands to fully combine.
Form meatball mixture into 1 or 2 inch meatballs and place on a pan or plate.
Drizzle olive oil on the griddle.
Place the meatballs on the grill and cook about 3-4 minutes, or until they are browned and start to release from the grill.
Flip the meatballs and cook until this side starts to brown as well, about 3-4 minutes.
Continue to flip and cook meatballs until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from grill to a separate plate and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Serve over pasta wth your favorite sauce and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup to use the same amount of meat mixture in each meatball.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatballs prior to serving. A safe internal temperature for these meatballs is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
What to serve with blackstone meatballs
Cook a pot of your family’s favorite pasta and top it with Marinara sauce. This is such a classic combo that never disappoints.
A salad is always a great choice with pasta and meatballs as well as Cheesy Garlic Bread.
Another delicious meal idea is Grilled Meatball Subs. They are saucy, cheesy and can be loaded with grilled veggies to make a perfect meal.
How to store leftovers
Fridge: Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure they are cooled before storing them.
Freezer: Freeze meatballs on a baking sheet before storing them in an airtight container or zip top bag. Freezing them separate from each other will make it easier to just grab a few since they won’t freeze stuck together. Reheat from frozen or thaw in the fridge overnight.
how to reheat leftovers
Meatballs that are already in sauce can be reheated in the microwave or even on the stove top. If they are not in sauce, add a little water to the plate or the pan you are reheating them on so they don’t dry out.
