Famous Beef Meatballs

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix everything together with your hands until well combined.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, shape the beef mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball.
  3. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re spaced out, so they cook evenly.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs are cooking, heat the marinara sauce in a pot over medium heat. Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and let them simmer for a few minutes.
  6. Serve the meatballs hot, either on their own or over a bed of pasta. Don’t forget to sprinkle a little extra parsley on top for that perfect finish!

There you have it! A delicious, hearty meal that’s sure to please everyone at your table. Enjoy these Famous Beef Meatballs with family or friends, and savor every bite. Happy eating!
