Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes or fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 jar (12 oz can) of your favorite marina or tomato based pasta sauce
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, parsley salt and milk. Use you hands and mix it real well for a minute or 2. It should have a slightly sticky feel when ready. This is perfect!
Step 2
Shape into 2 inch balls (or smaller if you desire for appetizer size)
Step 3
Heat skillet on medium heat and add meatballs. Brown meatballs by rolling them around in the pan. They don't need to cook all the way through - just brown them.
Step 4
Once meatballs are browned, drain off the fat but keep the meatballs in the skillet. Add marinara sauce and lower heat to low setting. If you skillet has a cover, cover it. Bring sauce and meatballs to a very low simmer and let cook for about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat and serve
