Easy Skillet Meatballs are savory bites of beef, onion, caraway seeds and spices that you can add to pasta, soups or sandwiches for an easy meal. Great for making ahead and freezing.
In a large bowl, mix beef, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, caraway seeds and red pepper flakes. Use your hands to combine everything.
Form meatballs by rolling 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of beef mixture into a ball with your palms. Have a parchment -lined baking pan ready to set all of the rolled meatballs onto before frying.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When oil is shimmering, work in batches to add the meatballs and cook on all sides until fully browned thru, about 10 to 12 minutes.
When done, remove the meatballs from the pan with a slotted spoon. Use meatballs right away, or freeze for future meals.
To Freeze:
Place cooked meatballs on baking sheet. Freeze uncovered for 1 hour. Remove meatballs from pan to plastic freezer bags or containers. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
