Tender, juicy meatballs. Thanks to the combination of beef and pork, it is not very fatty. The cheese adds a subtle Italian touch. Great for children's menus.

Just cutlets

Most often, housewives prepare meatballs from minced beef in tomato sauce. However, it is not necessary to simply fill the workpiece with diluted paste. You can do it much more elegantly and end up with a delicious dish. To do this, a piece of stale white bread is soaked in milk, squeezed and put through a meat grinder with half a kilogram of beef, an onion, mint leaves, herbs (taken according to your taste and in a fairly large quantity), a clove of garlic and hot pepper without seeds.

Half a glass of rice is boiled until half cooked and mixed with meat. Meatballs are formed from ground beef, fried until crusty and placed in a saucepan. For the gravy, chopped onions and garlic cloves are fried in a spoon of oil. Two crushed tomatoes without skins and selected spices are poured into it. Once it boils, the gravy is salted and sweetened with sugar, after which it is kept on fire for a couple of minutes. The prepared sauce is poured over the meatballs. They simmer for ten minutes under the lid.

How to cook “Beef and Pork Meatballs”

Wash the meat, cut into pieces.

Peel the onion and chop coarsely.

Grind the meat and onions in a meat grinder.

Grate Parmesan on a fine grater.

In a bowl, mix minced meat, egg, grated cheese. Add salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate while you make the sauce.

Pour boiling water over the tomatoes for 2 minutes. Remove the skin and chop finely.

Place crushed tomatoes in a mold, add salt, sugar, pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Remove the minced meat from the refrigerator, form meatballs and place them in the stewed tomatoes. Place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees.

Ready-made meatballs can be decorated with herbs. Can be served with a side dish. Bon appetit!

Refill options

The dish provides a fairly wide springboard for culinary imagination. For example, you can make meatballs from ground beef with sour cream gravy. For it, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter, fry a couple of tablespoons of flour in it - you need to stir constantly so that there are no lumps left. In a separate frying pan, a 400-gram package of low-fat sour cream is heated until boiling. Once it foams, add flour. Stir vigorously again, and the last ingredient is a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste. Then salt and pepper are added, water if necessary (in case the sauce is too thick), and the gravy is poured into the meat balls.

The ground beef meatballs with cream sauce are good. For this, an onion is chopped and a medium-sized carrot is grated. Vegetables are simmered in melted butter until softened. Then half a glass of tomato juice is added to them. As a last resort, you can take pasta: five spoons. After boiling, three tablespoons of flour are stirred into the sauce. After a minute, a liter of warm broth is poured in a little at a time. Let the gravy simmer for a quarter of an hour on the stove and you can remove it. Finally, the sauce is flavored with salt, spices and half a glass of the heaviest cream. The gravy works best when the meatballs are baked in the oven.

How long should you cook meatballs and at what heat?

To begin with, I would like to clarify that meatballs are prepared with a diameter of 4-6 cm and are fried or stewed. If you mean boiling meatballs in sauce (I call this process stewing), then the time it takes is about 20 minutes after boiling. If the meatballs are large and frozen, then they can be cooked for 30-40 minutes, over low heat and covered.

If you confused the meatballs with meatballs, and they are also molded from minced meat, then the diameter of the meatballs is 1.5-3 cm, so - meatballs are often boiled, they are cooked for 7 to 15 minutes.

Soups and even borscht are most often cooked with meatballs, but just like meatballs, they can be fried and stewed in sauce.

The smaller the diameter of the meat balls, the faster they will cook and vice versa.

“Hedgehogs” with cheese

You can make your favorite dish even more tempting and tasty. To do this, just stuff the meatballs with something from minced beef. It tastes best with hard cheeses. Minced meat is prepared traditionally, only the onion is not ground with meat, but grated. In addition, an egg is driven into the base - one for every half kilo of beef. The minced meat is peppered and salted; if desired, you can season it with your favorite spices.

A piece of cheese is cut into cubes (with an edge of about a centimeter). The minced meat is divided into balls. Each is made into a flatbread, with a slice of cheese placed inside. Now the cake is rolled into a ball again. And the minced beef meatballs with cheese are laid out on a greased sheet. They will bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The time depends on the size of the hedgehogs. You can serve it plain or with any of the sauces described above.
