15-Minute Cheesy Party Meatballs

Ingredients

24–30 Meatballs: (Beef, turkey, or a plant-based alternative).

1 cup Marinara or BBQ Sauce: Depending on your preferred flavor profile.

1 ½ cups Shredded Cheese: A blend of Mozzarella and Cheddar works perfectly.

Optional Garnish: Freshly chopped parsley or red pepper flakes.

Instructions

1. Arrange: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the meatballs in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish.

2. Sauce: Top each meatball with a small spoonful of your chosen sauce.

3. Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each meatball.

4. Bake: Place in the oven for 10–12 minutes. If you are using frozen pre-cooked meatballs, ensure they are heated through.

5. Broil: For an extra golden finish, turn the oven to the broiler setting for the last 1–2 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

6. Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish over pasta or rice.
