Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 eggs large
  • cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and sea salt. Mix well.
  • Place 12 round meatballs (about 3 tablespoons) into a lightly greased skillet and brown lightly on all sides on medium- medium-low heat.
  • Pour sauce all over the meatballs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook meatballs fully.
  • Add cheese on top and broil in the oven to melt the cheese.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Transfer the meatballs and marinara sauce to a baking dish to melt the cheese if you don’t have an ovenproof skillet.
  • Gently mix the meatball mixture to avoid overworking it, which can make the meatballs tough.
