Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Simmer in Marinara Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Mozzarella

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs and cover until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
