US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine ground beef (2 pounds), grated parmesan cheese (1/2 cup), eggs (2), salt (1 1/2 teaspoons) and Italian seasoning (2 teaspoons).
  • Using about 2 Tablespoons worth of meat, roll into a ball.
  • Press a cube of cheese through the center, and ensure the cheese so not exposed on the edge. Continue to do this with the remaining meat and cheese.
  • Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and into the middle rack of the oven.
