Meatballs and Marinara

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    If using, sprinkle provolone cheese on top of the meatballs and let it melt before serving. Serve hot.
