Method

Prepare Meatballs

  1. 1

    Combine Meatball Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into two equal-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Cook Meatballs

  1. 3

    Brown Meatballs

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, gently place the meatballs in the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Make Sauce

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and add salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmer with Meatballs

    Carefully add the browned meatballs back into the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
