Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce (I prefer Barilla Marinara for this)
  • 1 (16 ounce) box spaghetti

Method

  • Mix beef, onion, green pepper, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, egg and spices together in large bowl.
  • Heat marinara sauce on Med-Low.
  • Form meatballs by hand and drop into sauce (raw). Mixture should yield 12 - 20 meatballs (depending on size).
  • Let meatballs cook in sauce at least fifteen minutes before stirring, so as not to break the meatballs up in the sauce.
  • Allow to simmer, covered, at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Cook pasta according to box directions, drain and serve. Top with meatballs and sauce.
