Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    With your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm as a side dish or with your favorite sauce.
