Ingredients List
- For the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1/4 cup asiago cheese finely grated
- 1 tablespoon dry minced onion
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- For the sauce:
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 chipotle peppers in adobo finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Make the meatballs: Combine meatball ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Shape into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, resulting in about 30 meatballs. Place them on a tray and refrigerate to harden them a bit (so they keep their shape) while you work on the sauce in the next step.
Make the sauce: Heat up olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic, chipotle, and basil, and let them sauté until the garlic starts browning, about a minute. Then add the tomatoes (including the liquid in the can) and salt. Mix well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes over low-medium heat. Lastly, add mayo and stir well.
Simmer the meatballs: Carefully add meatballs to the pan, one at a time. Make sure that each meatball is completely coated with sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cut one meatball open to verify that they have finished cooking.
