Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

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

    Once browned, pour marinara sauce over the meatballs in the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
