Don't say I won't be puttin' some hamburgers on the grill with this recipe either!
Another of Jessica's masterpieces:
makes 30-40 mini meatballs
1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup romano cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
 |
| My almost finished product! |
3 cups of your favorite pasta sauce
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add ground beef, egg, oil, cheese, breadcrumbs, 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 sauce. Once all meatballs have been added, sprinkle additional cheese and breadcrumbs over top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Serve with additional sauce if desired.

I only made a couple of minor modifications to the recipe (due to what I had in the cabinet and fridge):
*I used ground chuck (love some chuck!).
*I substituted italian seasoning for the basil.
*I used seasoned panko.
Try it and let me know what you think!!
