Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian seasoned
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cups tomato sauce homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour tomato sauce over the meatballs, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
