Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 30- ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix ground beef and pork in a large bowl.
  • Add parsley, salt, and black pepper, then shape into tablespoon-sized meatballs.
  • Cook diced onion and minced garlic in a skillet until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  • In the same skillet, brown meatballs on all sides, then set them aside.
  • Pour tomato sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Add the meatballs back to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  • Enjoy with pasta or as a meatball sandwich on crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a lighter version of this recipe, you can use ground turkey instead of beef and pork.
  • You can also add in some grated Parmesan cheese to the meatball mixture for an extra punch of flavor.
  • Make sure to cook the meatballs in batches if your skillet is not large enough. Crowding the pan can prevent them from browning properly.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Some people prefer their meatballs with a bit more salt and pepper, while others may like it less seasoned.
