Description

Ingredients

• 1 jar (24 oz.) marinara sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands
• Scoop out about 1 golf ball sized meatball mixture, roll it in your hands to make meatballs. I used an ice cream scoop
• Over medium high heat, brown the meatballs in batches until evenly browned, about 5-8 minutes
• Remove meatballs and drain on paper towels. Drain any excess oil from the skillet
• Reduce heat to medium low and pour the marinara sauce in the skillet
• Add the meatballs back to the skillet and roll them around to coat them in the marinara sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes or until internal temperature of meatballs are 165 degrees F
• Top with mozzarella cheese. Cover and simmer until cheese melts or broil at 450 degrees F for 3-5 minutes for browned cheese
• Dish and serve hot sprinkled with chopped fresh basil
