Meatball Mixture

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Prepare Meatball Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal. Add the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape Meatballs

    Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have around 12 meatballs.

Cook Meatballs

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 4

    Brown Meatballs

    Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Marinara Sauce

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