INSTRUCTIONS
-
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
STEP 2
In a large bowl combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt, egg, cheese, and breadcrumbs. Slowly add the water, a few tablespoons at a time, mixing with your hands until everything is just combined. The mixture should be moist, while still holding its shape when rolled into meatballs.
-
STEP 3
Scoop about one tablespoon of meat into your palms and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of the meat.
-
STEP 4
Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they're cooked through.
-
STEP 5
While the meatballs bake, heat Aurelio’s Pizza Marinara Sauce in a saucepan.
-
STEP 6
When the sauce is warm and the meatballs are out of the oven, add the meatballs to a cast iron skillet, or other large serving dish. Add the heated Marinara sauce and make sure the sauce is evenly distributed with the meatballs.
-
STEP 7
Serve with cooked pasta or by themselves with a toothpick & enjoy!
