PREP TIME 10 minutes
COOK TIME 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME 30 minutes
SERVINGS 18 meatballs (2 tablespoons)
EQUIPMENT
rimmed baking sheet
parchment paper
mixing bowl
2-tablespoon scoop
INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground beef, I use 88%
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small yellow onion, grated (or minced)
2 tablespoons marinara sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or dried (see notes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or dried (see notes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or dried (see notes)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 large egg, slightly beaten
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, but do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs.
Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, portion out meat and place on baking sheet. After all meatballs have been scooped onto tray, roll into balls and place back onto the baking sheet.
TIP: If you lightly coat your hands with olive oil before rolling the meatballs, they will form better and crack less.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
Remove and transfer to sauce or serve immediately.
DONNA’S NOTES
You can substitute dried herbs and spices for fresh. 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning for the fresh herbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder for the fresh garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder for the fresh onion.
