These savory Italian-style meatballs are perfect for a comforting dinner or a family gathering.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, parmesan cheese, milk, salt, Worcestershire sauce, egg, garlic powder, pepper, and breadcrumbs.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into approximately 20 evenly sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a cookie scoop can help create uniform meatballs.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Check for doneness by cutting into one meatball to ensure it's no longer pink inside.
In a saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over low heat.
Add a pinch of sugar to the sauce if it's too acidic.
Add the baked meatballs to the saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the meatballs.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta or as a standalone dish, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
Pair with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
