Description

Bite-sized meatballs perfect for pasta or sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ⅓ cups Grated Romano Cheese, Plus Extra To Sprinkle On Top Of Meatballs
  • ¼ teaspoons Panko Bread Crumbs, Plus Extra To Sprinkle On Top Of Meatballs
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 2 cups Your Favorite Pasta/Tomato Sauce, Plus Extra To Serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, add ground beef, egg, oil, cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper, basil and parsley. Mix to combine, gently tossing a few times with your hands. Don’t overmix—it will result in tough meatballs! Spray a large baking dish with non-stick spray and add 2 cups of pasta sauce. Roll beef into mini meatballs (about a tablespoon of beef) and set in the sauce. Once all meatballs have been added, sprinkle additional cheese and bread crumbs over the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Serve with additional sauce if desired.

Makes 30—40 mini meatballs.

I made this recipe last week and my husband and I both loved them. They’re easy to make and easy to eat! ;) I loved the romano cheese in them. Super yummy!
