Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into two large meatballs, each about the size of a baseball.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare Marinara Sauce

    While the meatballs are cooking, prepare your from-scratch marinara sauce or heat pre-made sauce in a separate pot.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them topped with the marinara sauce.
