- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about one inch in diameter, and place them on a greased baking sheet.
