Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

  4. 4

    Add Mozzarella

    Remove the meatballs from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each meatball. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your Meatballs al forno!
