Delicious and juicy beef meatballs simmered in marinara sauce, perfect for serving with pasta or as a hearty appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  4. Once the meatballs are browned, pour the marinara sauce over them in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.
  5. Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture.
  • Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • These meatballs can be frozen after cooking for up to 3 months.
