Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Yield: 40 meatballs
INGREDIENTS:
For the meatballs:
1 lb 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 (24oz) spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
DIRECTIONS:
For the meatballs:
In large bowl, mix together the meatball ingredients until combined evenly (I use my hands). Roll into 40 balls (about 1 1/2-2 inches). Space evenly on prepared baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
For the casserole:
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.
Serve as is, or with a pile of pasta. Also great on a sub sandwich!
