Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef 90/10
  • 2 Eggs Large
  • ½ cup Bread Crumbs
  • cup Pepperoni Chopped
  • ½ cup Mozzarella Diced
  • 3 tablespoon Tomato Sauce Plus more to cook the meatballs in
  • 1 tablespoon Oregano
  • cup Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat up your tomato sauce. Let that simmer on the stove while you make the meatballs.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
  • Mix everything until it is well combined. Do not overmix. When all the ingredients are combined together, stop mixing.
  • Roll the meat into balls. I was able to get 24 one inch meatballs out of this recipe.
  • Place the meatballs on a parchment lined or silicon pad lined baking sheet.
  • Place them in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
  • Once the meatballs are done, add them to the simmering tomato sauce. Let that cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve over pasta, in a bulky roll, or on their own.

Notes

  • Use your favorite jarred tomato sauce for this recipe.
  • We are using ground beef, but ground chicken or ground turkey will work too!
