Meatballs are a classic dish that is delicious when served alongside spaghetti, on top of a nourish bowl, or simply eaten by themselves. But with hundreds of meatball recipes out there, what if I told you that I have come up with The Ultimate Meatball Recipe to meet ALL of your meatball cravings?! It's true! This recipe is a long-time family favorite that uses a combination of beef and pork, alongside a special seasoning to create the absolute perfect flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 Pound Ground Pork
- 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs you can also substitute for gluten-free breadcrumbs!
- ½ Onion finely diced
- ¼ Cup Fresh Parsley finely chopped
- 2 Cloves Garlic mashed
- ¾ Cup Parmigiano Reggiano freshly grated, plus more for topping
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Allspice
- 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Jar Marinara Sauce of choice
- 1 16 Ounce Package Spaghetti of choice
Instructions
- Start by adding all of your meatball ingredients to a large bowl.
- Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients until they're well-combined, then roll them into evenly-sized meatballs. Place each meatball onto a baking sheet, then repeat until all of your meatballs are formed.
Stovetop Method:
- To prepare these meatballs on the stove, start by preparing the sauce. Add the pasta sauce to a deep saucepan, on the stove and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Once the pasta sauce is simmering, add the meatballs to the pan and place the cover on top. Do not touch the pan for 25 minutes.
- Once the 25 minutes are up, remove the cover and gently stir to cover all the meatballs in the sauce.
- Finally, serve them over cooked spaghetti, and enjoy!
Oven-Baked Method:
- To prepare these meatballs in the oven, simply preheat your oven to 350 F.
- After the meatballs have been formed and placed onto the baking sheet, bake them for 20-22 minutes, until they're no longer pink inside.
