So, frozen meatballs are good….especially if you buy the angus one’s, but homemade Italian meatballs in Italian Sauce is SO MUCH BETTER! This recipe is FULL of flavor and seasonings and will have you saying, “Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm!” There is definitely something about making homemade meat balls and getting to choose the way to fry it with the RIGHT kind of oil. I use canola oil because it is cost effective, has a good smoke point, as well as, the one I buy is heart healthy! These meatballs are paired with Italian sauce and I have also made it as an appetizer and dipped in bar-b-que sauce it is very versatile and VERY GOOD! After you make it, you have to tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Preparing Your Meatballs
-
Pre-heat your cast iron pot and fill it with cooking oil, filling it 1/4 way. In large bowl, mix all ingredients and shape mixture equivalent to golf balls approx. 1 inch apart.
-
Fry the meatballs evenly by turning the meatball to each respective side until all sides have been thoroughly cooked. Serve warm and Enjoy!
-
Pre heated the crock pot to medium high. Line the pot with olive oil. Put in the minced garlic and onions. Sauté for 2 min. Mix in the tomato paste, tomato puree, Himalayan salt, Italian seasonings and sugar. Once sauce comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and let it cook for 45 min. Serve warm and Enjoy!
Read through the recipe you used for the meatballs. I do put a little bit of a different spin on mine by simmering them in the sauce I prepared until they reach serving temperature rather than frying. I do know some people prefer to cook them in the oven but to me simmering them in the sauce makes them more moist and flavorful.
