These are my own recipe. They're really flavorful and cheesy, which is perfect for me because I'm not a big fan of ground beef. Serve with a jar of your favorite pasta sauce and spaghetti.
Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (dry grated, not shredded)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and roll into small meatballs. I wear disposable rubber gloves to make cleanup easier.
2. Let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cooking.
3. Heat non-stick skillet over medium and cook meatballs until nicely browned.
4. Add a jar of spaghetti sauce, simmer and serve with cooked pasta.
5. Leftovers make as awesome meatball sandwich, just toast and top with mozzarella cheese.
