Why You’ll Love These Homemade Parmesan Meatballs

The combination of parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and other seasonings creates a flavorful dish that is so simple but packed with flavor. They are easy and convenient, there is no chopping of herbs and no added breadcrumbs – making them gluten free. I love to get my kids involved by helping measure out the herbs, cracking the eggs, mixing the ingredients and shaping them into balls.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Shape the mixture into meatballs.
• Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips for the Perfect Homemade Parmesan Meatballs

• Use high-quality ground beef. I personally use organic grass fed beef.
• Shred your parmesan cheese yourself, bags of pre-shredded cheese have an anti-caking additive in them. I use THIS or THIS to grate mine.
• Don’t over mix the ingredients to keep the meatballs tender.
• Line your pan with parchment paper, or my favorite, use a stone pan so they won’t stick. STONE PAN
• Watch the meatballs so they don’t overcook as they won’t be as juicy. I found 20 minutes to be perfect.

Serving Suggestions

Homemade parmesan meatballs pair well with BBQ sauce, marinara sauce, spaghetti, or a side salad. My son typically eats them with ketchup too. They can be served as an appetizer, in a sub roll for meatball sandwiches, on a pizza, etc.

Feel free to make them large or small depending on your preference. Just watch the bake time as it will need to be adjusted depending on the size.
