Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In the same skillet, add your favorite marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs hot with marinara sauce over spaghetti or with crusty bread.
