How to Make Berthas Meatballs

1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended), 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3. Pour your favorite spaghetti sauce (about 24 oz) into a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the meatballs, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.
4. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.
