Meatballs Recipe

Meatball Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Make sure they are mixed thoroughly.

2. 2

   Add Dry Ingredients

   To the meat mixture, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

3. 3

   Incorporate Wet Ingredients

   Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix until the eggs are fully incorporated into the meat mixture. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.

4. 4

   Shape the Meatballs

   Using your hands, take small portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Cook the Meatballs

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until they are browned and cooked through.

6. 6

   Simmer in Marinara Sauce

   Once the meatballs are browned, add them to a pot with marinara sauce. Let them simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the meatballs are cooked through and have simmered in the sauce, serve them hot with spaghetti, on a sub roll, or as an appetizer.
