Instructions
MAKE THE MEATBALLS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line an oven safe skillet with foil and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix breadcrumbs and milk. Set aside.

- Use a small cookie scoop and form ping pong ball sized meatballs.
- Spray prepared foil-lined skillet with cooking spray and place formed meatballs on the foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
MAKE THE CASSEROLE
- Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
- Place meatballs on a plate and remove foil from skillet.
- Pour about 1/2 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of the skillet and spread to cover.
- Place meatballs in skillet in a single layer.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over the top of the meatballs, then sprinkle shredded Italian cheeses over the top, so all the meatballs are covered in cheese.
- Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top of the cheese, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Cover skillet with another piece of foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake, uncovered, for another 20 minutes.
- If desired, broil the dish for a minute or two after baking.
- Garnish with fresh basil and parsley if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer not to use ground veal, substitute it with an equal amount of additional ground beef or pork.
