Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the vegetables
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Prepare the herbs
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves.
Mix the meatball ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the meatballs
Using wet hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a plate.
Brown the meatballs
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
Prepare the sauce
In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Simmer the meatballs
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve
Serve the meatballs and sauce hot over your favorite cooked pasta or in sandwich rolls. Enjoy!
