Mmm...balls.

Sunday night's dinner made use of leftover marinara sauce and leftover ground beef from Saturday's butchery display.

I mixed the ground beef, some chopped onion, garlic, red wine, parm cheese, egg, bread crumbs, and milk and rolled them into balls. Haha. Balls. Similar to my brother's approach, I fried them in a bit of oil until they got a nice crust, then poured in leftover marinara and placed the pan in the oven to finish the balls off, for about 20-30 minutes. I then added a handful of grated parm and smoked mozzarella. Served over some penne. Mmm.

I highly recommend the smoked mozzarella to add flair to dishes. I find mozzarella to be a bit bland, so I enjoy the fact that the smoking actually gives it some flavor.
