Meatball Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the 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

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs hot, either on their own, with marinara sauce, or in a sub sandwich.
