The trick to super-tender meatballs? Cooking them in the oven! It allows plenty of moisture and flavour to stay in your meatballs where they belong. Cheddar cheese and a crusty ciabatta loaf add an indulgent touch to this delicious dish.

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Thinly slice the garlic. Finely chop the carrot (unpeeled). Cut the broccoli into small florets, then roughly chop the stalk.

Prep the meatballs
2

In a medium bowl, combine the beef mince, egg, Italian herbs, fine breadcrumbs and the salt. Using damp hands, take a heaped spoonful of the beef mixture and shape into a small meatball. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture (you should get about 20 meatballs).

Cook the meatballs
3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned, 5-7 minutes (the meatballs will continue cooking in step 4). Transfer the meatballs to a medium baking dish and set aside.

Cook the sauce
4

Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Add the garlic, dried oregano (see ingredients list) and carrot and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the passata and sugar and bring to the boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish and sprinkle with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, 10 minutes.

Cook the broccoli
5

While the meatballs are baking, place the bake-at-home ciabatta directly on the wire rack in the oven and bake until crusty on the outside and steaming hot on the inside, 10-12 minutes. Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the broccoli and a splash of water and cook until starting to soften, 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Serve up
6

Divide the cheesy baked beef meatballs and greens between bowls. Serve with the crusty ciabatta bread.

Divide the cheesy baked beef meatballs and greens between bowls. Serve with the crusty ciabatta bread on the side (perfect for scooping up the sauce!).
