Meatballs & Sauce

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup soft bread crumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 to 4 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
• Dried basil to taste
• Cooked spaghetti or hard rolls

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese and seasonings. Form into 2-inch balls.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, fry meatballs in oil, browning on all sides. Place meatballs in a large pot; add tomatoes. Simmer over low heat for at least an hour, stirring frequently. Add basil as desired.

Serve meatballs and sauce over cooked spaghetti, or spoon into hard rolls to serve as sandwiches.

Fix a double batch! Cook meatballs according to the recipe, freeze individually on baking sheets, then store in a freezer-safe container until ready to use.
