A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce.
Combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, milk, salt, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
Wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot and bring to a simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Gently place the meatballs into the simmering sauce and cook for 2 hours.
Ensure the sauce covers the meatballs for even cooking.
Serve the meatballs hot with your choice of pasta or bread.
Garnish with additional parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
