Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

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

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have approximately 20 meatballs.

  3. 3

    Brown the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Meatballs

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the meatballs with sauce, topped with coarse grated cheese.
