Meatballs

Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the meatballs for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

Topping Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté sliced Mancini peppers and onion until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Prepare Meat Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the meat sauce over medium heat until simmering.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the meatballs are cooked, slice them in half. Place the bottom half on a serving plate, top with sautéed peppers and onions, pour over the meat sauce, and add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

  4. 7

    Melt Cheese

    Place the assembled meatball dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
