Meatball Ingredients

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Meat Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped side pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and the egg. Mix everything together until well combined, using your hands or a spatula.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cooking Process

  1. 3

    Brown the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Marinara Sauce

    After browning, pour the marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them hot over pasta, in a sub sandwich, or on their own with extra marinara sauce on the side.
