Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 large eggs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed
4 leaves fresh basil (optional)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Using your hands, gently mix together pork, beef, breadcrumbs, pecorino, salt, eggs, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl. Form mixture into 2-inch balls.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs; cook, turning, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil; simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Return meatballs and any juices to pan. Simmer, turning meatballs once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat broiler. Arrange mozzarella on top of meatballs. Broil until melted, 2 to 3 minutes; serve.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover meatballs. I often make a double batch of meatballs and then use the leftovers to make this casserole.

I love this recipe because it is so versatile. You can add any vegetables you like to the casserole, and you can also change the type of cheese you use. I have even made this casserole with ground turkey instead of ground beef.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The meatballs are made with ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices, and they are cooked in a tomato sauce. The casserole is then topped with cheese and baked until bubbly.
