Description

Delightful and convenient meatballs bursting with flavor, perfect for pasta, subs, or enjoyed alone with marinara sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatballs.
  2. Mix until well combined and form into small balls, about an inch in diameter.
  3. Preheat the Ninja Foodi on ‘Sear/Sauté’ and brown the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Pour marinara sauce over the browned meatballs, close lid, and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.
  5. Let the pressure release naturally, then carefully open the lid and serve with additional sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, add bell peppers or Worcestershire sauce. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes and consider ground turkey for a lighter version.
