Easy Recipe: Italian Meatballs With Ground Sausage


  • Author: Gianna Ferrini

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb lean ground beef
  • ½ lb ground sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Romano cheese
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Gather all of your ingredients besides the olive oil in a large bowl.
  2. Mix everything together using your hands or a stand mixer until just combined.
  3. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out a golf ball sized mound of meatball mixture and roll it into a circular shape. Repeat this step until you have used up all of your meatball mixture and have a bunch of raw meatballs.
  4. Heat up your oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium high heat.
  5. Once the olive oil is hot, place all of your meatballs into the frying pan and cook until brown on all sides. Make sure your meatballs have reached an internal temperature of 140°F before removing them from the pan.
  6. Let rest for five minutes.
  7. Serve in a sandwich or with your favorite pasta and sauce.
