Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground chuck or lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Progresso™ Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
  • 5 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 cups marinara sauce
  • 12 mini hamburger buns
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 fresh basil leaves, if desired
Instructions:
  • **Combine** beef, salt, pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley in a **medium bowl**. **Gently mix** until well combined, then **shape** into 12 (2-inch) balls.
  • In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat up oil over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Pour marinara sauce over meatballs, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
