So, here’s how to whip up this delightful dish!
Ingredients for Kids Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling adventurous)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (the more green, the better!)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for that extra oomph)
- 1 large egg (like a golden ticket to flavor town)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your favorite marinara sauce (let’s give these meatballs a bath!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). It’s about to get toasty in here!
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Use your hands (don’t be shy) to mix everything together until well combined.
- Form the mixture into little meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They need some space to rock and roll!
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and golden on the outside. You’ll know they’re done when they reach that glorious juicy perfection.
- While the meatballs are baking, heat up your marinara sauce on the stove. Let it simmer softly while your meatballs are turning into little nuggets of joy.
- Once the meatballs are done, serve them up drenched in the marinara sauce. Trust me, they’ll be shouting, ‘Eat me!’ from the plate.
So there you have it—delicious kids meatballs that are simple to make and packed with flavor! Pair them with those vibrant roast carrots, and you’ll have a meal worthy of applause! Bon appétit and happy cooking!
