Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ½ onion diced, small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup red wine dry
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes petite
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
For the meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 pound Italian sausage casing removed
- ½ onion grated, small
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup milk whole
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ¼ cup parsley chopped fresh leaves
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, Panko, milk, egg, Parmesan, parsley, garlic and basil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-to-1-1/4-inch meatballs, forming about 30-32 meatballs.
- Place meatballs in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until cooked through, about 18-20 minutes; set aside.
- Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in meatballs until heated through and evenly coated in sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- *Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
