cooking directions

Mom, dad, bro, sis — everyone can make this.

 

First, mix up the pork, breadcrumbs, egg (not the shell), onion and seasonings. Then the kiddos can shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of golf balls — how fun!

 

Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium-high heat for up to 10 minutes (probably Mom’s or Dad’s part). Remove them from the pan. Now the kids pour all that yummy marinara sauce in the skillet and put those meatballs back in.

 

Cover. Simmer. Give it 10 to 12 minutes. Serve over spaghetti or another pasta. Dig in, fam!

 

Serves 6
