Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

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

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into seven equal-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, prepare a simple tomato sauce by simmering crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion, and Italian herbs in a saucepan for about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are done, add them to the tomato sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
