Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Roll the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
- Place the meatballs into a sauce in a large pot or skillet.
- Simmer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 hours, turning occasionally if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or Italian seasoning to the meatball mixture. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, a similar hard cheese like Pecorino Romano can work as a substitute. To ensure even cooking, make sure the meatballs are uniform in size, about 1.5 inches in diameter. If you prefer a lighter option, try using ground turkey instead of beef.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the meatballs over a bed of pasta or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. They pair beautifully with Sweet And Sour Potato Salad(12 To 15 Servings) for a delightful contrast of flavors. For a complete meal, consider adding a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables like Chef Tell'S Braised Brussels Sprouts.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or sauce to keep them moist, covering until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
