Full of flavor from Italian herbs, Parmesan cheese, and a blend of ground round and Italian sausage, these meatballs have a nice crust thanks to a bit of time in the oven before they’re slow-simmered in marinara sauce. They’re the perfect complement to Sunday spaghetti!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1/3 cup minced onion
- 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup half-and-half
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 ¼ pounds ground round beef
- ½ pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray foil lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine onion, bread crumbs, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, eggs, egg yolk, garlic, basil, parsley, and oregano in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Add ground round and sausage and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Mix well until just combined.
Step 3
Dampen hands with water and form mixture into 18 golf ball-sized meatballs. Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer meatballs to a large pot and add marinara sauce. Simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours before serving.
Cook’s Note:
The meatballs are best when simmered in marinara sauce, but you can cook them in the oven for a full 17 minutes, and then cool completely and freeze for a later use.
