Meatball and Garlic Bread

I really love these savory meatballs. Toothpicks were only inserted to help with the mess. The garlic bread was very useful for placing the meatball and complemented very well with the marinara sauce. You might ask why I didn't opt with spaghetti... well, it's definitely something I'd like to do but I still need to figure out how to hold it together.

Serves 3: Ground beef, ground pork, garlic clove, salt & pepper, breadcrumbs, and egg

The garlic bread was store bought but goes great with the rest of the ingredients. Normally there are two long loaves of garlic bread in a packaged box that is already pre-cut for you. I only used one loaf and each slice was big enough to cut in half. I made a total of 20 meatballs and paired 16 garlic breads to each one. I could've made at least 32 which would have been nice to take to a party!

To lessen the mess, I poured warm marinara in a sauce bowl for dipping. This method is the preferred option since you can dip however much marinara you'd like without the mess. One problem I had with the garlic bread was that I left it in the toaster-oven a little too long and it turned out a little hard, but I still enjoyed the crunchiness!
