Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the marinara sauce. Mix gently until evenly combined. Avoid packing the mixture tightly.
  • Divide the beef mixture among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Press it in lightly, leaving the tops slightly rounded.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the muffins, then sprinkle the mozzarella evenly on top.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and the centers are cooked through. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

For a neater serving, loosen each muffin around the edges with a small spatula before lifting it from the pan. If your marinara is especially thick, spread it gently over the tops so it covers each muffin without pressing down on the beef.
