Method
Meatball Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix Meatball Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Form Meatballs
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake Meatballs
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown color.
Sauce Preparation
Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine Meatballs and Sauce
Once the meatballs are done baking, gently transfer them into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
