How to Make Awesome Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well but avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Place meatballs in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for another 15 minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors.
- Serve hot, over pasta, with crusty bread, or as an appetizer.
