Halloween Beef 'Eye'Balls
These eyeballs, I mean, meatballs covered in cheese, sitting in a bed of marinara sauce are the perfect scary addition to your Halloween spread.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pre 92% Lean Ground Beef
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or crushed rice cereal
- 1 small onion, minced or grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Garnish:
- Provolone cheese slices
- Garnish: Olives (pitted), pimentos, and vegetables of many colors, sliced into small rings
- 1 jar favorite marinara sauce
Add all ingredients (except provolone slices and garnish) to a large bowl. Lightly mix with fingers, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a rack on a baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Using your hands, form beef mixture into ¼ cup spheres. Place on the baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove meatballs from the oven. Add provolone cheese slices (in short strips) overlapping on top of the meatball and draping over all sides.
- Return pan to oven for 10 minutes. Remove and garnish with olives and veg to make pairs of ‘eyeballs.’
- Serve (in pairs) on a plate of warm blood. Er, I mean, marinara sauce.
- Tips & Tricks: Be careful to keep the meatballs small (eyeball size, mwah ha-ha). They tend to creep up larger. A ¼ cup scoop or ice cream scoop is a big help during this step.
- Give your eyeballs as much character as possible! Are the eyes crossed? Do some have eyebrows? Red pimento rings really help to make them look extra scary!
