How to Make Spinach And Cheese Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef, squeezed spinach, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roll the mixture into 30 meatballs (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter).
  4. Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Brown the meatballs over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds great flavor.
  5. Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a broiler pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  7. Let the meatballs cool slightly before storing. For long-term storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container.
  8. To thaw and reheat: Remove desired number of meatballs. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until heated through. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
