Jumbo Cheesy Meatballs

Baking meatballs in the oven sure beats standing over the stove frying them and then having the mess to clean up! These cheesy meatballs are great served with rice and a nice salad, but if you want to serve them over spaghetti just up the amount of tomato sauce and you'll be fine.

Ingredients:

Meatballs:

2 lbs lean ground beef

1 egg

1 cup shredded mozzarella 

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

2 tsps onion powder

1 tsps garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Sauce:

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella

fresh chopped parsley

Combine the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 16 portions and roll each into a ball. Place in an oiled 10" baking dish. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.

Then spoon tomato sauce over the meatballs, top with cheese and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Add fresh chopped parsley and serve.
