House Meatballs

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Meatballs

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, parmesan reggiano, eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2

Shape the Meatballs

Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

3

Cook the Meatballs

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.

4

Prepare the Grits

While the meatballs are cooking, prepare creamy grits according to package instructions. Stir in butter and season with salt and pepper.

5

Serve

Plate the creamy grits, top with meatballs, and garnish with pickled chilies and additional grated parmesan reggiano. Serve with amatriciana sauce drizzled over the top.
