Cheesy Oven Baked Meatballs


  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: aprox 14 meatballs 1x

Description

Cheesy Oven Baked Meatballs made gluten free and baked in one dish in the oven, super easy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1kg pork or beef mince (or a mixture)
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 250g / 1 cup tomato pasta sauce  ( I like to use Crunch Preserves)
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella for topping
  • fresh basil or parsley to serve

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 200°C.

In a large bowl mix together the mince, mozzarella, parmesan and egg.  Scoop out large tablespoons of mixture, roll into balls and lay in a single layer in a baking dish.  You may need to spray the dish lightly with cooking oil first.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.  Remove from oven and drain any grease.  Pour over the pasta sauce and top with mozzarella.  Bake an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese has melted.

Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve.

Notes

Make these meatballs larger than you like them as they do shrink quite a bit when they cook.
