1

Mix it Up

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup of finely chopped parsley, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Get your hands in there and mix everything together until well combined.

Shape those Bombs

Take small handfuls of the meat mixture and roll them into perfectly round balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Think of yourself as a meatball artist! Place the meatballs on a plate or baking sheet, ready for the next step.

3

Get Sautéing

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet. Let them sizzle and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until nicely browned on all sides. Don't overcrowd the skillet, you might cause a meatball traffic jam!

Sauce it Up

Pour in a jar of your favorite marinara sauce, then gently stir to coat the meatballs in all that saucy goodness. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together and create a savory explosion!

Serve with Fun

Take those juicy, saucy cannonball meatballs and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top for extra flavor and a touch of elegance. You can serve them alongside pasta, rice, or even on warm crusty bread. The choice is yours, brave culinary adventurer!
