Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds meatloaf mix beef, pork, veal combo (Or use all ground beef if you prefer )
  • 4 cloves garlic-roughly chopped not minced
  • a handful of chopped parsley
  • 1 cup bread crumbs Use gluten free if desired: I sometimes use Schar gluten free brand
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese not grated (sometimes I use grated asiago cheese)
  • 2 eggs
  • salt to taste
  • Sauce of your choice approx two 24-oz jars
  • Mozzarella cheese to top it off with!

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of the above meatball ingredients and form your meatballs-not too large.
  • Pour 1-2 Tablespoons oil on a baking stone or pan with sides and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
  • Lower oven to 375.
  • Pour some sauce in the bottom of your dish(es).
  • I used a ceramic dish pictured above or you could use one 9×13.
  • Lay meatballs on top of the sauce. Cover with more sauce and dress the top up with lots of mozzarella! It should be covered with cheese!!!
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins.
  • Remove foil and bake an additional 20 mins or until meatballs are cooked through and cheese is browning.
  • For the last 4 minutes I raised the oven temp to 400 to help the browning.
