Delicious Italian Meatballs

Simple and delicious Italian meatballs.

These meatballs are so simple and easy to make. I have made them so many times now and never stop getting comments on how delicious they are. 

Preheat a non-stick pan on medium high heat. In another sauce pot you will want to start warming up your favorite pasta sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground hamburger (or whichever meat you prefer)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup of Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt (less if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons of minced garlic

Method

Step 1- Throw all of your ingredients into a bowl and begin to mix them altogether. 

Step 2- Shape your meatballs and place them into the preheated pan as you go.

Step 3- Brown the meatballs on all sides then place into the simmering pasta sauce

Step 4- When all the meatballs are browned and in the sauce, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid

Step 5- Let the meatballs simmer like that for about 4-5 hours or until done

The meatballs end up being so tender and so flavorful from cooking in the sauce all day. It is so easy to throw these all in a pot and just occasionally stir them here and there. They don’t need much attention at all. You can pick whatever pasta you like to serve these with.
