How to Make Berthas Meatballs
- 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.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.
