Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Homemade Meatballs in Marinara Sauce.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the ground beef and egg until just combined.
Step 2
Gently fold in the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, taking care not to overmix to keep your meatballs tender.
Step 3
Form the mixture into balls, roughly 1 to 2 inches in diameter, creating little flavor-packed orbs.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the meatballs, cooking them until they achieve a golden-brown crust on all sides and are no longer pink in the center, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Step 5
While the meatballs sizzle, warm marinara sauce in a separate pot over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Once the meatballs are perfectly cooked, transfer them into the pot with the marinara sauce and allow them to simmer for about 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your kitchen transforms into an Italian bistro!.
