Ingredients

> 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
> 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
> 1 large egg
> 2 green onions, finely chopped
> 2 cloves garlic, minced
> 1 tsp Italian seasoning
> 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
> 1 (23 oz) jar marinara sauce
> Chopped parsley, to garnish (optional)
> Store-bought Texas toast garlic bread, to serve (optional)

Steps

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, rice, egg, green onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Using damp hands, shape into 1-inch meatballs.
2
In a 12-inch skillet, heat the marinara sauce on medium-high until simmering. Add meatballs into sauce. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium, and cook 15–20 min., until meatballs are fully cooked. Top with the parsley, if using, and serve with the garlic bread, if desired.

Tips

Serve the meatballs with a variety of sides like steamed broccoli, spaghetti noodles, or rice.
