Grandma’s Famous Italian Meatballs

Prepare yourself for a culinary adventure that is as delightful as a Sunday dinner. We’re talking about meatballs that are so good, you might just want to declare them the eighth wonder of the world. And don’t worry, if you end up wearing more sauce than you put in the pot, that’s just a badge of honor!

Delicious Italian meatballs on a plate ### Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 jar marinara sauce (because homemade is for overachievers!)

Instructions:

In a big mixing bowl (the one that makes you feel like a chef), combine the ground beef and ground pork. Embrace the meat and channel your inner Italian!
Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper to the mix. Get your hands in there and start mixing! Don’t be shy; it’s only meat. Imagine it’s playdough.
Once everything is beautifully combined, shape them into meatballs. Aim for that perfect golf ball size—because who wants to eat a meatball the size of a planet?
In a large skillet, heat up some olive oil over medium heat and cook those heavenly meatballs until they’re brown on all sides. Your kitchen is about to become the best-smelling place in the world!
Pour marinara sauce over the meatballs and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle like old friends at a BBQ.
Serve these delectable orbs of happiness over pasta, on a sub, or just on their own if you’re feeling rebellious. Get ready for the compliments to roll in!

Voila! Your very own batch of Grandma’s Famous Italian Meatballs. Get out those plates, gather the family, and prepare for a feast that will leave everyone smiling (and possibly asking for seconds…or thirds!). Buon appetito!
