How To Make daddy's sunday night meat balls
-
Step 1Method: 1-Heat your tomato sauce in preparation to making meat balls. Use your own favorite sauce recipe, your favorite canned/jarred brand or try my marinara recipe. 2-In a large skillet add your olive oil over medium heat. 3-In a large mixing bowl mix up all the rest of the ingredients until completely incorporated. 4-Roll your out meat balls from your mixture. Meat balls should be about inch and a half balls. 5-Once oil in pan is at smoking temperature, lay your balls out in the pan. Brown on one side and rotate. Keep rotating until all sides are browned. 6-At this point the balls are only about 3/4 the way cooked. Pour your hot pasta sauce over your balls and cook covered for 5-10 minutes until you are ready to serve. And there it is.... my best recipe for meat balls. I served it over tri-colored pasta and garnished with some parm.
