Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line the bottom of a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cheese, bread, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, and sauce. Blend for 30 seconds, scraping the sides as needed, or until an orange color with only small flecks of bread and cheese.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, oregano, salt and pepper.
Add the cheese/breadcrumb/sauce mixture and gently but thoroughly combine. I do this with my hands so as not to overwork.
Using a small ice cream scoop, measure out the meatballs and roll gently in hands to shape into a ball. Place onto prepared sheet pan. Drizzle tops lightly with oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and just cooked through.
