INGREDIENTS
Meatballs:

• 1 pound 80% lean ground beef patted dry with paper towels if wet
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce like Rao's
• 1 teaspoon dry minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Creamy Tomato Sauce & Toppings:

• 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking dish, similar to a 9x13 inch casserole pan, optionally lined with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add all meatball ingredients and mix well. Form into 16-18 meatballs, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
3. Arrange the formed meatballs in a single layer on the baking dish, without touching each other.
4. Bake at 350 F until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 F), 25 to 30 minutes.
5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce and toppings. Heat marinara sauce in a small saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream until it forms a lovely orange hue. Keep warm over low heat while you wait for the meatballs.
