Meatballs
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Total Time: 55 minutes
- Yield: 20 medium meatballs 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 slices of store-bought bread, whatever kind you prefer, remove crust and cube
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 lb ground beef (lean preferred – 90/10)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg, large
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil (for the pan)
Instructions
- First, begin by soaking your crustless cubed bread in water. Set the bread aside for several minutes until it has absorbed all the water.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the garlic, parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and only 2 tablespoons of parsley.
- Add the moistened bread and mix everything together well.
- Add the pork and ground beef and mix until combined—do not over mix.
- Using a cookie scoop form the meat into meatballs. This ensures the same size meatballs for even cooking. When all the meatballs are prepared, you are ready for sautéing.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet that has a lid. When the oil is hot, place the meatballs in the skillet.
- Gently turn the meatballs as they sauté (about 2 minutes per side), cooking them until brown on all sides and a safe internal temperature is achieved (around 165°F).
- Add a large jar of your favorite sauce to the skillet and simmer the meatballs for another 30 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs by themself, in your favorite recipe, or over your favorite pasta! Enjoy!
