These meatballs are bursting with fresh herbs, giving you a taste of something truly special. They’re perfect on their own or served over some pasta or rice. You can even put ’em in a sub for a bomb meatball sandwich. Let’s get started, shall we?
### Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This helps to get everything cooked nice and golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Take off your jewelry and get in there with your hands. Mix it until everything is well combined but don’t overdo it—just like a good friend, you want it to be solid but not too clingy.
- Once your mixture is ready, shape it into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Make sure to give them a gentle roll in your hands to keep them nice and smooth.
- Lay those babies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with cleanup, trust me!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they’re browned and cooked through.
- While those meatballs are baking, you can warm up some marinara sauce in a saucepan. Serve the meatballs warm, drizzled with the sauce. You can garnish with additional fresh herbs or cheese if you’re feelin’ fancy.
And just like that, you’ve got yourself a plate of herb-loaded goodness. Enjoy these meatballs with your loved ones; it’s all about sharing a meal and making memories. Dig in!
