Meatball Mixture

Cooking

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped onion. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and 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. Once hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

  2. 4

    Brown the Meatballs

    Cook the meatballs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Once the meatballs are browned, pour the tomato sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow to simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
