Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Meatball Mixture

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

2

Form the Meatballs

Using your hands, form the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a baking sheet.

3

Cook the Meatballs

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

4

Simmer in Marinara Sauce

Once cooked, add the meatballs to your marinara sauce and let them simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through.
