Easy Homemade Meatballs

  4.9 – 6 reviews  • Beef

This simple bread comes together quickly and bakes in 15 minutes. Honey or jams taste fantastic on top of it. Particularly around Easter, we enjoy cooking this.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground beef
  2. 1 egg
  3. ½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  4. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  5. 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  6. 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  7. 2 teaspoons olive oil
  8. 1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine beef and egg in a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix together, but do not overmix, as it will get tough.
  2. Shape into 1- to 2-inch balls.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  4. Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a pot over medium-low heat. Add cooked meatballs to sauce and let simmer for added flavor, about 15 minutes.
  5. You can use your favorite marinara sauce.

Full time rving and always looking for easy, tasty recipes I can freeze ahead of time and pull out for a quick tasty meal. These meatballs are not only easy, but quick and delicious. I made two batches – one to eat (meatball subs) and the other to freeze. Thank you!

We liked it very much. Used half the garlic powder. For 2 people it made enough for 6-7 peeps with pasta and a salad, we used Publix marinara sauce and I let the meatballs simmer for a while.
