Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 cups marinara sauce homemade or store bought
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the beef, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined (do not over mix).
- Take approximately 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Roll it into a ball and place a piece of the cheese into the center of the ball.
- Place the prepared meatball on the baking sheet. Continue this process until all the meat mixture and cheese are used.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (flipping halfway) until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center. Watch them closely so that the cheese does not spill out while they are cooking.
- Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.
- Serve the meatballs topped with the marinara sauce and enjoy!
