Quick Homemade Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
Instructions
1
Combine ground beef with beaten eggs in a substantial container. Add crushed bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning to the mixture. Combine ingredients thoroughly but avoid over-processing, as this will result in a tough final product.
2
Form the mixture into small, rounded clusters of varying sizes, approximately 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
3
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in the hot skillet until they are evenly browned and no longer exhibit pink coloration in their centers, taking approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side.
4
Concurrently, heat a rich marinara sauce in a separate pot over medium-low heat. Introduce the cooked meatballs to the warm sauce and allow them to simmer in the flavorful liquid for a period of about 15 minutes, thereby enhancing their overall taste.
