sustainibeef Ground Beef Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound sustainibeef ground beef
• 1 large egg (beaten)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian Flat leaf parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the over to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
2. Combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, garlic, onion, black pepper and parsley in a bowl. Stir just until combined, do not over mix. Add a tablespoon or two of water as needed to keep a wet mixture.
3. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the meat. Then form into 1 1/2" balls and place on the pan.
4. Bake uncovered for 17-20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle. Turn halfway through, so the bottoms don't brown.
5. Simmer meatballs with marinara sauce for 10 minutes and serve over noodles if desired.
