๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

๐ŸŽฏ Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 400ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Overmixing can result in tough meatballs.
  3. 3

    Lightly wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into 16 meatballs of equal size.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Consistent sizing ensures even cooking.
  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

    โฑ๏ธ 20 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Medium-high heat
    AI Wisdom: Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches for better browning.
  5. 5

    Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160ยฐF (71ยฐC).

    โฑ๏ธ 12 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 400ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  6. 6

    Serve the meatballs hot with marinara sauce for dipping or over pasta.

    AI Wisdom: Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired.
