Meatball Mixture

Cooking

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Meatball Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cooking the Meatballs

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Meatballs

    Carefully place the meatballs into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Simmer in Marinara Sauce

    Once the meatballs are browned, add the marinara sauce to the skillet. Cover and let simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
