Category: Meatballs

1½ lb to 2 lb ground pork
1 medium onion, chopped
2 eggs
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dry basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese

(1) Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.

(2) In a large bowl add ground pork, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, oregano, basil and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything with your hands and form into 24 big meatballs. There should be enough for 24 meatballs. Place meatballs onto the baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for about 45 meatballs or until meatballs are cooked through.

(3) Pour half a cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom of a skillet. Arrange the meatballs in the skillet, they and top each meatball with some of the remaining marinara sauce. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until sauce is bubbly.

(4) Sprinkle meatballs with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and place in the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish with some extra basil if preferred.
