Cooking Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add Egg

    Crack the egg into the bowl and mix all the ingredients together until well combined. You can use your hands for better mixing.

  3. 3

    Shape Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into 5 equal-sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Cooking Directions

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 5

    Sear Meatballs

    Carefully place the meatballs in the hot skillet. Sear each meatball for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 6

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Once the meatballs are browned, pour the marinara sauce over them, ensuring they are well covered.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
