Meatball Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned on the outside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and let them simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot with pasta or crusty bread.
