Meatball Parmesan Casserole

Ingredients

For the meatballs

1lb ground turkey or beef

1 egg

1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs

1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt

6 cranks fresh ground black pepper

For the casserole

1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

For the meatballs:

1. In large bowl, mix together the meatball ingredients until combined evenly (I use my hands). Roll in to 40 balls (about 1-1/2 - 2 inches). Space evenly on prepared backing sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

For the casserole:

1. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 2qt baking dish. Top with meatballs. Pour remaining sauce over meatballs. Top with shredded parmesan and mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

2. Serve as is, or with a pile of pasta. Also great on a sub sandwich.
