How to Make Italian Meatballs In Tomato Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
- Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, and oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve hot over pasta, polenta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
