Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 - 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tsp Borsari Original Seasoning
- 2 tbsp Borsari Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for cooking)
- Marinara sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, and Borsari Original Seasoning. Mix gently until just combined, don’t overwork the meat.
- Shape: Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a plate or tray.
- Cook: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches, browning on all sides (about 5 to 7 minutes).
- Finish: For saucy meatballs, transfer browned meatballs into a simmering marinara sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Serve: Enjoy with pasta, on a sub roll, or as a standalone appetizer.
Pro Tips
- For extra tender meatballs, soak breadcrumbs in a splash of milk before mixing.
- Try a beef-pork-veal blend for a more traditional Italian flavor.
- Bake instead of frying for a lighter option - 375°F for 20 minutes.
