Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into round meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Brown the Meatballs

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and brown the meatballs on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    While the meatballs are browning, in a separate pot, heat a jar of marinara sauce over medium heat until warmed through.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Once the meatballs are browned, transfer them to the pot with marinara sauce. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs with marinara sauce over spaghetti or on a sub roll for meatball sandwiches.
