Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Shape Meatballs

    Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Cook Meatballs

    Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove meatballs from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite sauce or pasta.
