Provided by Hector Gomez

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 20 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
1 lb hot italian sausage
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 cup milk
24 oz marinara sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, eggs, and milk. Mix until everything is fully infused together.
  • Roll into 4-5 ounce (113-142 g) meatballs. For even amounts, use a medium-sized ice cream scooper.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan, and brown the meatballs on both sides for about 2-3 minutes or until you create a nice crispy sear. Cook about half way through. They will finish cooking in the oven.
  • In a casserole dish, spread a few tablespoons of marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan to help prevent sticking. Then place meatballs in the casserole dish and add the remaining jar of marinara sauce. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover in foil and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the meatballs are fully cooked.
  • Serve and garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes. This will give your sauce a richer flavor and a more vibrant color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When browning the meatballs, do it in batches so that they have plenty of room to brown evenly.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a good quality rice. Long grain rice is a good choice for this recipe.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato meatballs and rice bake is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
