Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until they're browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, prepare your house marinara sauce or heat up a pre-made one in a saucepan.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the marinara sauce and let them simmer for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot.
