Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 1 lb ground beef with 1 tsp garlic powder and 0.5 tsp salt until just combined. Roll into 12 small meatballs, about 1 inch each.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. They should feel firm and no longer pink inside.
Step 3
Pour the 1 cup marinara sauce over the meatballs and stir to coat. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is hot and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 1 cup shredded mozzarella over the meatballs and cover the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5
Spoon 2-3 meatballs with sauce and cheese onto each of the 8 large lettuce leaves. Wrap and serve immediately.
