Meatballs and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into two large meatballs, ensuring they are packed tightly.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the tomato sauce and bring it to a simmer. Gently place the cooked meatballs into the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meatballs and cover the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the meatballs warm, drizzled with the sauce and topped with extra cheese if desired.
