Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese (, plus 1 tablespoon for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 400° F (200° C).
  • Whisk the egg yolk in a medium-sized bowl until lightly mixed. Add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the ground beef to the egg mixture. Use your hands or a large spoon to thoroughly mix the egg mixture into the ground beef.
  • Add the onions and breadcrumbs. Mix them into the meat using your fingers or the spoon.
  • Pour the oil into a small baking dish, swirl to coat the bottom of the dish. Form the ground beef mixture into a large ball and place in the center of the baking dish. Top the meatball with tomato sauce.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. (The meatball is done when cooked through, and when it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F on an instant-read thermometer.)
  • Remove from the oven and top with 1 Tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Cover baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy hot.
