Meatball Parmesan Bake
Description
Meatball Parmesan Bake features a blend of ground beef and pork mixed with grated Parmesan, cream, egg, onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning to form moist, flavorful meatballs. These meatballs are placed in a casserole dish, covered with marinara sauce, and topped with shredded mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan. Baking at 350°F until cooked through creates a bubbly, golden cheese topping and tender meat inside. The heavy cream in the mixture helps keep meatballs moist throughout baking.
The final dish presents a combination of tangy tomato sauce and rich melted cheese over well-seasoned baked meatballs. It can be served as a main course with pasta or bread to soak up the sauce, fitting well for comforting family meals.
Leftover Meatball Parmesan Bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to a month, making it convenient for meal prep or future dinners.
