• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 egg

½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, or to taste

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Directions

Combine beef and egg in a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix together, but do not overmix, as it will get tough.

Shape into 1- to 2-inch balls.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a pot over medium-low heat. Add cooked meatballs to sauce and let simmer for added flavor, about 15 minutes.
