    Easy Baked Meatballs With Gruyere Fondue

    These are the cheesiest and the yummiest!

    If cold winter weather makes you crave comfort food, I hear you!

    Now, that almost every single day is cold and snowy, all I crave is a bowl of heartwarming stew or bubbly and cheesy meatballs bake like this. This delicious recipe goes really fast, because:

    1. Meatballs with cheese and herbs are sautéed in a rich Marinara sauce with mushrooms;
    2. Meatballs are topped with cheese, actually lots of it;
    3. Cold weather means rich and hearty comfort food, can you argue with that?

    Friends, if you noticed, I've been a little absent from my blog lately. Last months we packed our Indiana apartment in boxes and moved to East Coast.

    It's quite a big move, physically and emotionally stressful. And even though it's been a month since the move, we've just recently finished unpacking and settling down in the new house.

    So, now Connecticut is officially our new state and boy, it's a busy area. I still haven't gotten into the swing of things and have a hard time shooting new recipes. But bare me with here. I have so many great recipe ideas for the upcoming months. You'll see them really soon, I promise.

    I've actually made this Easy Baked Meatballs recipe awhile ago.

    It was not that cold yet, but I liked the idea of having meatballs with Gruyere fondue for dinner. This idea definitely was appreciated by my husband and kids who devoured the meal on a whim.

    These meatballs freeze well too.

    The recipe makes 25 small meatballs. You can either freeze them before cooking.

    Or fry for a few minutes on each side, cool completely and then freeze. And when you're ready to eat, all you'll have to do is to warm them up in a tomato sauce and top with that beautiful cheese. Yum!

    For the last few steps of the recipe, you need a good ovenproof skillet (like this), or braiser (like this). I made my meatballs in Lodge 10 inch cast iron skillet.

    I bought it just recently and it quickly became one of my favorite cooking pieces which is surprisingly quite cheap.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound ground turkey breast or thighs
    • ½ pound Italian pork sausage
    • ½ medium onion finely minced
    • ¼ cup parsley and basil finely chopped
    • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs See the notes
    • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
    • 1 tablespoon ketchup
    • 2 eggs
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 8 ounces Cremini or Portobello mushrooms thinly sliced
    • 1 ½ cups Marinara Sauce or any other Pasta Sauce
    • ¼ cup water
    • 2 ounces Mozzarella cheese shredded
    • 2 ounces Gruyere cheese shredded
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large mixing bowl combine first 10 ingredients, 1 minced clove of garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well and form 25 meatballs. (If meatball doesn't hold the shape well, you can add a bit more of breadcrumbs)
    • Arrange meatballs on a prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook on a medium heat until water evaporates, about 5-7 minute. Add the remaining minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute.
    • Stir in Marinara sauce, water and simmer for 5 minutes.
    • Arrange cooked meatballs in a skillet, gently coat them with the sauce and generously sprinkle with Mozzarella and Gruyere.
    • Preheat broiler and broil meatballs until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
    • Serve immediately!

    Notes

    For this recipe I used regular breadcrumbs, but if you're on Keto or Low-Carb diet, you can definitely substitute with low carb breadcrumbs like almond flour or coconut flour.
