Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 24 ounces Tomato sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, egg, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together until well combined, but do not overmix to keep the meatballs tender.
Step 3
Roll the meat mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with approximately 16-18 meatballs.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Brown the meatballs on all sides, turning occasionally, about 5-7 minutes. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
Step 6
Remove the browned meatballs and set them aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining meatballs if necessary.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and bring it to a simmer over low heat. Add the meatballs back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Step 8
Cover and simmer the meatballs in the sauce for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring gently to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs hot over your favorite pasta, in a sub roll, or alongside crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh parsley, if desired.
