Notes

Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for presentation. Serve with a crisp side salad or baked potato wedges. For best results, check meat doneness with a thermometer; ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Leftover meatballs can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for about a month.
