Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs

This easy Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs is sure to please the man in your life any night of the week!

“I could eat spaghetti every day for every meal forever.”
This Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs is super easy! I don’t cook the spaghetti with the meatballs… I cook them separate in their own pan as usual. I mix the meatballs up and place them in a greased cast iron (which you don’t have to use, but I love cooking in mine!) to brown on both sides and then pour my marinara sauce over the browned meatballs, cover and let cook for about 10 minutes. Easy peasey! Drain your pasta, top with the meatballs and sauce. Let your man enjoy them! 

1. 1 pound spaghetti
2. 2 pounds ground beef
3. 1/2 cup onion, minced
4. 2 eggs, beaten
5. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
6. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
7. 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
8. 2 teaspoons salt
9. 1 teaspoon pepper
10. 1 teaspoon garlic granules
11. 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs (Panko)
12. 16 ounces your favorite Marinara Sauce
13. Mozzarella Cheese
14. Fresh Basil

Instructions:
In a stock pot, begin to boil water for spaghetti.
In a large bowl, crumble the ground beef and add onion, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, and bread crumbs. Mix completely with hands, but don’t overwork otherwise the meatballs will be tough.
Using a cookie scoop or cake ball scoop (or whatever you have around, a spoon will work too) form into a ball.
In a cast iron (or large skillet) place enough oil to coat the bottom and turn on medium heat.
Place meatballs in the heated skillet and brown 1-2 minutes and then with tongs (or fork) turn meatballs over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until browned.
Pour marinara sauce over meatballs and cover, reducing heat to medium-low and cook about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti.
Once spaghetti is cooked, drain and serve with meatballs and sauce!
Top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil!
