Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb Ground beef; 1 lb Ground pork; 1 cup Breadcrumbs; 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese; 1 piece Egg; 2 cloves Garlic; 2 tbs Parsley; 1 tsp Salt; 0.5 tsp Black pepper; 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes; 1 piece Onion; 2 tbs Olive oil; 1 tbs Basil; 1 tsp Sugar; 0.5 tsp Salt; 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Savory meatballs made from a blend of seasoned ground meat, herbs, and spices, served in a rich tomato sauce.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped herbs, and spices.

Combine Ingredients

Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring the herbs and spices are evenly distributed.

Mix Thoroughly

Take a portion of the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Form Meatballs

Refrigerate the formed meatballs for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Chill

Preheat Oven

Place the baking sheet with the meatballs in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Bake Meatballs

In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant.

Prepare Sauce

Stir in crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Add Tomato Base

Once the meatballs are cooked, gently add them to the simmering tomato sauce. Allow them to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Combine Meatballs and Sauce

Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside pasta or crusty bread.
