Combine all meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl; mix thoroughly.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out about 1 golf ball sized meatball mixture, then roll to make meatballs.
Over medium-high heat, brown meatballs in batches until evenly browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Remove meatballs; drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Remove any excess oil from the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour marinara sauce in the skillet. Add meatballs back into the skillet and coat them in the marinara sauce. Simmer 5 minutes or until internal temperature of meatballs are 165 degrees F.
Top with Mozzarella cheese. Cover and simmer until cheese melts or broil at 450 degrees F for 3-5 minutes for browned cheese.
Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh basil.
