- Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
- Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
- After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
- **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Tips:
- Ensure the beef and pork are adequately chilled before the preparation begins. This enhances the meat's texture and facilitates the adhesion of seasonings.
- Use a light touch when mixing the meat and binder ingredients. Overworking the mixture can result in tough meatballs.
- Refrigerate the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to meld and further enhances the texture.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until they are evenly browned on all sides. This helps seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from drying out.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for at least 1 hour. This allows the meatballs to absorb the sauce's flavor and become tender.
