I came up with this recipe one night when I had a giant craving for meatballs. I tend to be a pasta purist, just pasta and marinara sauce– boring, I know. But that night I had a hankering for meatballs and I knew I had ground pork in the fridge so I figured why not give it a shot? Going off the knowledge I’d gleaned from hours of Food Network marathons and Chopped episodes I managed to throw together a pretty tasty bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. I jotted down what I’d done and got to dining. A few weeks later I gave the recipe another go and found even without a craving the meatballs hit the spot nicely. Now I am proud to present the recipe to you.
Yield: Fifteen 1-inch meatballs
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. Ground Pork
- 1/2 Small Onion (diced)
- 1/2 Beaten Egg
- 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning (marjoram, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, savory, sage)
- 1/2 tsp. Minced Garlic
- 1/3 cup Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. oil (olive oil or canola oil work well)
Directions
- In a medium bowl combine all of the ingredients except for the oil and mix to combine.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating up, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Add the meatballs to the pan and cook until the bottoms have browned. Turn the meatballs until they have browned on each side and then transfer to an oven-safe baking dish.
- Once all of the meatballs are in the dish, cover with tinfoil and place in a 350ºF oven for 15 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through.
- Once the meatballs are cooked through and there is no pink showing transfer to a plate and serve.
Enjoy!
