CHEESY MEATBALL BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, eggs, and milk. Mix until everything is fully infused together.
• Roll into 4-5 ounce (113-142 g) meatballs. For even amounts, use a medium-sized ice cream scooper.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan, and brown the meatballs on both sides for about 2-3 minutes or until you create a nice crispy sear. Cook about half way through. They will finish cooking in the oven.
• In a casserole dish, spread a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan to help prevent sticking. Then place meatballs in the casserole dish and add the remaining jar of marinara sauce. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Cover in foil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the meatballs are fully cooked.
• Serve and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!

HOT AND CHEESY BAKED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the arrabbiata sauce to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and top with the peppers. Add the meatballs, then bake until the meatballs are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven, then turn the oven to the broiler setting.
• Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the meatballs, then lay a slice of mozzarella over the top of each meatball. Place under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese, watching closely so that nothing burns. Scatter over the torn basil.
• Serve with crusty bread and a dressed salad.
