Ingredients

6 servings

12 ounces 90% lean ground beef
12 ounces ground pork
3 medium garlic cloves, (minced)
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
splash of milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups marinara sauce ((jarred or homemade))

Steps

In a large bowl, combine the meat, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, a couple of grinds of pepper and a splash of milk. Mix together well with clean hands. Roll into 24 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet with the meatballs into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm them up slightly.
To brown the meatballs, heat a couple of swirls of olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, turning to brown all sides. They do not need to be cooked through.
Add the meatballs and marinara sauce to a large pot and stir gently. Heat over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring very gently a couple of times during simmering.
Serve meatballs and marinara over noodles or stuffed into rolls with melted mozzarella cheese.
