This easy Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs is sure to please the man in your life any night of the week!
You’re probably wondering why I’m making C’s favorite dish for this theme when it’s called Dad’s Favorite. Well when I was only 6 months old my father was killed. He was hit by a car and the person responsible was never found. I never grew up with a father so I don’t know what his favorite meal would be! That’s why I went ahead and am sharing C’s favorite. Hopefully one day… after we’re married this year… he’ll be a father 🙂 . We all dream about that day, right?!
Anyways… This Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs is super easy! I don’t cook the spaghetti with the meatballs… I cook them separate in their own pan as usual. I mix the meatballs up and place them in a greased cast iron (which you don’t have to use, but I love cooking in mine!) to brown on both sides and then pour my marinara sauce over the browned meatballs, cover and let cook for about 10 minutes. Easy peasey! Drain your pasta, top with the meatballs and sauce. Let your man enjoy them!
With Father’s Day right around the corner, I felt it was time to jump back on the wagon, or blog, and put some work in. Sunday Supper’s theme this week helped me get back in the groove

This easy Skillet Spaghetti and Meatballs is sure to please the man in your life any night of the week!
Ingredients
1 pound spaghetti
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs (Panko)
16 ounces your favorite Marinara Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh Basil
Instructions
- In a stock pot, begin to boil water for spaghetti.
- In a large bowl, crumble the ground beef and add onion, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, and bread crumbs. Mix completely with hands, but don’t overwork otherwise the meatballs will be tough.
- Using a cookie scoop or cake ball scoop (or whatever you have around, a spoon will work too) form into a ball.
- In a cast iron (or large skillet) place enough oil to coat the bottom and turn on medium heat.
- Place meatballs in the heated skillet and brown 1-2 minutes and then with tongs (or fork) turn meatballs over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until browned.
- Pour marinara sauce over meatballs and cover, reducing heat to medium-low and cook about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti.
- Once spaghetti is cooked, drain and serve with meatballs and sauce!
- Top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil!
Notes
- **I use a cake ball scoop and this yields 22-24 meatballs**
- **Meatballs will store in refrigerator uncooked for 1-2 days or freeze extras!**
