How to Make Beer Braised Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, gently combine all meatball ingredients. Roll into 1-inch meatballs.
- Place meatballs on the prepared broiling rack and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
- While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce: In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, combine all sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the browned meatballs to the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Serve hot over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
