Easiest Baked Meatballs
There's no need to thaw meatballs first in this 3-ingredient easy baked meatballs recipe! They're smothered in marinara sauce and ooey gooey mozzarella for an irresistibly simple family meal.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces frozen cooked meatballs (see note)
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
- 2
Grease a 9x13 casserole dish (I use Pam cooking spray) and add the frozen meatballs in an even layer. If using thawed cooked meatballs, skip to step 4.
- 3
Bake the meatballs 20 minutes, then take the casserole dish out of the oven.
- 4
Pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs and stir/toss until combined. Spread in an even layer, then sprinkle the cheese over top.

Return the meatballs to the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly (meatballs should be 160F in the middle). Optional: broil the cheese for a few minutes to brown it.
