This is the recipe for easy homemade meatballs that my mother used growing up. I now make them for my family, and my picky husband loves them. Serve with your choice of pasta.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 egg
½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce

Directions

Combine beef and egg in a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix together, but do not overmix, as it will get tough.
Shape into 1- to 2-inch balls.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a pot over medium-low heat. Add cooked meatballs to sauce and let simmer for added flavor, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Use your favorite sauce.
