Cooking Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.

Cooking the Meatballs

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat for about 1 minute.

  2. 4

    Cook Meatballs

    Add the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce

    Once the meatballs are browned, pour in the marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
