Meatball Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add the Ricotta Cheese

    Remove the meatballs from the oven and top each meatball with a spoonful of ricotta cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the cheesy meatballs warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
