This cheesy meatball skillet has so many ways to be enjoyed! Pop them in a sub or mix them with pasta, or have them with some bread!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 jar (24 oz.) marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Meatballs:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands
- Scoop out about 1 golf ball sized meatball mixture, roll it in your hands to make meatballs. I used an ice cream scoop
- Over medium high heat, brown the meatballs in batches until evenly browned, about 5-8 minutes
- Remove meatballs and drain on paper towels. Drain any excess oil from the skillet
- Reduce heat to medium low and pour the marinara sauce in the skillet
- Add the meatballs back to the skillet and roll them around to coat them in the marinara sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes or until internal temperature of meatballs are 165 degrees F
- Top with mozzarella cheese. Cover and simmer until cheese melts or broil at 450 degrees F for 3-5 minutes for browned cheese
- Dish and serve hot sprinkled with chopped fresh basil
