Parmesan Meatballs

Prep Time15 minutes

Keyword: Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp finely minced onion
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix together until well combined. (I usually use my hands for this, but I love Amy’s idea of using a potato masher too.)
  • Roll into evenly sized balls. I tend to make these bigger than ordinary meatballs just because I consider them something special and I like to make sure they stand out!
  • Place on a baking pan or in a casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until fully cooked.

Notes

These meatballs make a killer meatball sub! I can’t wait to share that yummy recipe with you tomorrow.
