Meatball Recipe Baked
Some of the meatball recipes call for baked meatballs. Sometimes I brown them ahead and then bake. Sometimes I might just put these meatballs on a large cookie sheet and bake them. Then let them simmer in a delicious sauce. And, yes, I’ll use a really excellent jarred sauce like marinara, too.
Meatballs Sauce
Now the meatballs sauce doesn’t have to be complicated. We have such an array of delicious jarred sauces available today that weren’t on the shelves say 30 years ago. And, you can ‘gussy’ up the sauce using some extra ingredients. For instance, if you’re using a marinara sauce, you might want to add to it some mascarpone, heavy cream, whipped cream cheese, or ricotta. And, then, of course, more grated cheese. Yes, this will elevate the flavors. And, for me, well, I love adding sliced and chopped olives to my sauces.
Meatballs Oven
Meatballs in the oven takes major work and mess out of preparing the meatballs. The only thing you’re going to miss is an added almost ‘crispy’ from frying them on the outside, then baking them to finish the cooking. Honestly, if you’re in a hurry, don’t want the clean up, then by all means, crank up your oven.
