Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the process of making this delectable dish. First, I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, I prepare the meatballs by mixing the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, and minced garlic in a big mixing bowl. I usually season it with a little salt and pepper to give that extra zing! Once everything is well combined, I form small meatballs, about one inch in diameter, and set them aside. This is always the most fun part for me; rolling those meatballs is like a mini workout and my kitchen smells heavenly already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
