For the Meatballs

- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

For the Casserole
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 cups marinara sauce or 1 (24 oz) jar favorite marinara (I prefer Rao’s)
- 2-3 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
To make the meatballs: In a large bowl combine ground beef, cheeses, egg, onion, garlic, parsley and seasonings, mixing well.
-
Use a cookie scoop to form the meatballs so they are all the same size, rolling them around in your hands, and arrange on a baking dish or cookie sheet. You should get about 15 to 16 large meatballs.
-
Bake meatballs for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove meatballs, draining any excess grease, and arrange cooked meatballs in a baking dish.
-
Pour marinara sauce evenly over the meatballs and spoon ricotta cheese on top.
-
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Remove from oven and top with fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!
