### Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of pork and beef for extra flavor)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned if you got ’em)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- First thing’s first, grab a big mixing bowl. Combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything together using your hands until well combined. Don’t be shy; get in there!
- Once mixed, start forming the meatballs into your desired size—about 1-inch in diameter is a good standard.
- Now, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once that oil is nice and hot, add your meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re browned on all sides.
- After browning, pour in your marinara sauce and let it simmer with the meatballs for about 15-20 minutes. This allows those flavors to meld into each other beautifully!
- Serve those delicious meatballs over spaghetti, in a sub, or enjoy ’em just as they are with some crusty bread for dipping.
And there you have it—some of the juiciest, most flavorful meatballs that’ll remind you of home cooking. Enjoy, y’all!
