Meatballs and Sausage Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Peppers

    In the same skillet, add chopped red and green bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  5. 5

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Pour marinara sauce over the sautéed peppers and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Combine Meatballs with Sauce

    Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, cover, and let simmer in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked through, serve hot with the sauce and peppers over pasta, rice, or on their own.
