Prepare the Meatball Mixture

In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Combine well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Form the Meatballs

Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cook the Meatballs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Prepare the Rice

While the meatballs are baking, rinse the rice under cold water. In a pot, bring water to a boil, add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

Serve

Once the meatballs and rice are cooked, serve the meatballs over the rice. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
