Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Form the mixture into approximately 16 meatballs, each about 1½ inches in diameter, and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, making sure they are not too crowded. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious, low-carb cheesy meatballs!
