Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step in my kitchen is to combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. I love getting my hands in there to mix everything—there’s something satisfying about forming the meat into balls, making each one about an inch in diameter. When they are all rolled out, I place them on a baking sheet to get them ready for cooking. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
