These Italian-style meatballs are a delightful twist on a classic recipe, offering a burst of flavor and a tender texture.
Combine the ground beef, ground pork, Parmesan cheese, egg, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides.
Turn the meatballs gently to maintain their shape.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a saucepan with tomato sauce and dried basil.
Simmer gently to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Pair with spaghetti or crusty bread for a complete meal.
