Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
•
3 lb. ground beef (15-20% fat)
•
3 eggs
•
3-5 cloves garlic, crushed
•
1¼ cups Italian style breadcrumbs
•
1¼ tsp salt
•
¼ tsp coarse black pepper
•
1 loose cup Italian parsley, stems
removed and chopped
•
¾ cup grated romano cheese
•
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper and mix until
well-combined. Pour mixture into a large bowl with the ground beef. Add cheese
and breadcrumbs.
Mix well. Roll into balls that are about 1¾ inches in diameter. Cook meatballs in
the Skillet, flipping them occasionally so that all sides are lightly browned.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the meatballs and drain them on a plate
covered with paper towels.
Pour tomato sauce into the Skillet, but do not
turn it on. After the excess oil has drained off,
drop meatballs in your homemade tomato
sauce. Allow meatballs to sit and marinate in
the sauce. When ready to serve, turn on the
Skillet and set to medium heat. Cook the
meatballs until the sauce begins to boil. Let
simmer for a few minutes.
