Meatball Mixture

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cooking the Meatballs

  1. 3

    Sear the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

  2. 4

    Simmer in Tomato Sauce

    Once all meatballs are browned, add them back into the skillet and pour the tomato sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
