Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake Meatballs

    Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. 6

    Heat Sauce

    Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are done baking, toss them in the sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
