Ingredients

uncooked 93% lean ground beef

1 pound(s)

grated Parmesan cheese

¼ oz

egg(s)

1 large

Italian seasoning

1½ tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or line with aluminum foil coated with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine beef, breadcrumbs, cheese, egg, Italian seasoning and salt. Roll into thirty 1 1/4-inch meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, shaking pan every 5 minutes for even browning, about 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. When ready to eat, toss meatballs with sauce and serve over spaghetti; garnish with basil. Yields about 5 meatballs and 1 cup spaghetti with sauce per serving.

Notes

These meatballs freeze well and also make great sub sandwiches.
