Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped spinach, minced garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano.

  3. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. Remove meatballs from skillet and drain on paper towels.

For extra flavor, serve the meatballs with marinara sauce and a sprinkle of fresh basil. You can also bake them at 400°F for 15-20 minutes as a healthier alternative.
