Author Jacqueline

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 T chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 T chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 24- oz. jar pasta sauce

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl (except sauce). Mix with your hands until mixture is combined evenly.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the pan with olive oil.
  • Using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, portion out the meatballs to desired size. Working in batches, add them to the heated pan, and brown on all sides.
  • When the meatballs are browned, add them to a a large saucepot. When all the meatballs are in the pot, pour over the sauce. Turn the heat to medium/medium low and cook until the meatballs are cooked through (time will vary depending on the size of the meatballs; mine were about 1 1/2" and were done in about 25 minutes).
