Meatball Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, chopped onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into 14 meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and cook meatballs until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and fresh basil. Simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Meatballs with Sauce

    Add the cooked meatballs to the marinara sauce and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve with Cheese

    Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
