Super Easy Baked Meatballs Recipe

My favourite kind of cooking is anything that is easy. Forget fancy ingredients or a million steps, it’s not for me. This is especially true when it comes to dinner time. I could not be bothered. It’s my least favourite meal of the day, and I just want to get in, and get it over and done with. {I sound like a good time, don’t I!? Ha!}. I like baking and cooking for fun, but dinner every night gets to me.

This dish really satisfies because you can throw it together VERY quickly and get it done. Not to mention that gooey cheesy goodness on the top there. There is that.
