- 1/2 lb. Ground Beef
- 1/2 lb. Ground Pork
- 1 Clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 Cup Grated Italian Cheese I used grated parmesan
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Bread Crumbs, italian seasoned
- 1 tsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
For The Sauce
- 1 29 oz. Can of tomato puree

Instructions
- Mix all of your ingredients together for the meatballs in a large bowl.
- Form meat mixture into meatballs.( I got 6 large meatballs)
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat and brown meatballs for about 5-7 minutes rolling them around occasionally to get them browned all around.
- Take meatballs out of pan and set aside (keeping the fat/juice in saute pan).
- In the same pan you browned meatballs, using the fats from the meat, brown your onion and garlic for about 8-10 minutes on medium low heat.
- Once the onion and garlic are browned, strain oil into a bowl and get rid of onion and garlic.
- Over a large bowl, strain your canned tomatoes. Press down on tomatoes with hands to squeeze as much juice and liquid out as you can.
- Add your canned tomato puree to same bowl with tomato juice. Mix together.
- In the same saute pan you used to brown your garlic and onion, add the tomato puree mixture and your olive oil which you browned your garlic and onion in.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper and thyme. Mix around carefully.
- Add your meatballs to the sauce.
- Cover pan and let simmer for 1 hour.
- Cook spaghetti according to package directions in time so its ready for when your meatballs are ready.
- Enjoy!
