How long do you cook meatballs and at what temperature?

The cooking time for meatballs can vary depending on the size of the meatballs and the type of meat being used. Here are some general guidelines for cooking meatballs:

- Ground beef or pork: 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C)

- Ground chicken or turkey: 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C)

- Vegetarian meatballs: 10-12 minutes at 375°F (190°C)

To ensure the meatballs are cooked thoroughly, insert a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball. The internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C).

You can cook meatballs in a variety of ways, such as:

- Baked meatballs: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature and place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until cooked through, turning once or twice during cooking.

- Pan-fried meatballs: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook until browned on all sides, then reduce the heat and cook until cooked through.

- Slow-cooked meatballs: Place the meatballs in a slow cooker with some sauce, broth, or water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until cooked through.

Serve meatballs with your favorite sauce, pasta, rice, or vegetables.
