directions
To make the meatball casserole.
- Heat the oven to 350F.
- Place 20-25 fried meatballs in a casserole dish. (recipe below if you need one)
- Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over the marinara sauce.

Make your Meatballs
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients and with a wooden spoon (or ever better with your hands) squish well and combined.
- Take small pieces of the mixture and shape the balls into desired size. I prefer them the size of a walnut. The recipe yields 50-55 meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a cookie sheet topped with parchment paper. Once all the meatballs are shaped, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes or until frozen enough to handle.
- Remove the meatballs from the cookie sheet and place them in a freezer safe ziplock bag.
- Use as needed.
- To cook the meatballs, heat about 1/4 cup of oil in a medium large frying pan. Add the meatballs and cook over medium heat for few minutes, tossing the meatballs to brown on all sides.
- Remove from the saucepan on paper towels.
