Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat your favorite marinara sauce over medium heat. Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat the oven to broil. Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a baking dish. Top with additional parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve hot with crusty bread or over spaghetti.
