Equipment

  • Oven safe pan for cooking

Ingredients
 

Meatballs

  • 16 ounce ground beef (85/15)
  • 16 ounce Italian sausage (ground)
  • 2 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated finely)

Sauce

  • 14 ounce pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

Topping

  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together. Then, roll the meatballs by hand.
  • In a pan on high heat add a little oil and sear each meatball. Don't crowd the pan, you are only searing a side or two, they will finish cooking in the oven.
  • Remove the meatballs, lower heat to medium, then add in tomato paste and cook it about 10 seconds before you add in the pizza sauce. After the tomato paste and pizza sauce are combined add the meatballs back into the pan and turn off the heat.
  • Cover tops of the meatballs with shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Place in preheated oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Bake until cheese has browned. If meatballs are normal size they will be cooked through at the 20 minute mark. Each serving should give you 4oz of meat.
