Rao's Meatballs With Marinara Sauce Recipe

It’s a great dish to double or triple when you are feeding a crowd. I’ve even served them as as party finger food.

I sometimes glaze them in the oven and serve with tooth picks for the latter purpose. Whenever I make meatballs, I rarely, if ever, make a single batch. I always make enough for at least two meals.

I then freeze half on a recycled styrofoam meat tray for next time. Then it’s only to pull them from the freezer to thaw during the day.

Meatballs In Mushroom Cream Sauce

One of the reasons I’ve been making more meatballs lately, is that I’m more and more taking the little extra time to grind my own pork and beef.

As you can see from the photo below, the end product of grinding your own meat looks like nothing you would find. in the supermarket.

First, is the ability to be able to control the fat content of the ground meat. Plus, I love the ability to control the coarseness of the grind.

I tend to use the coarse grinding plate for a meatier meatball. I find it makes for a less spongy, more pleasing meatball.

If you’ve never ground your own chuck roast for burgers, you are really missing out there too. The flavour is just so much better than any regular ground beef that I’ve tried.

My kids loved these meatballs and poured the sauce over the simple steamed rice that we served with them. A couple of simple steamed veggies for a complete meal is all that we needed in addition.

Swedish Meatballs With Cream Sauce

I adore meatballs. They are one of the best and easiest ways to utilize ground beef, which is so very convenient and affordable. I always have a vacuum-sealed package or two of ground beef in the fridge or in the freezer, and shaping it into meatballs is a sure way to get the kids to eat it, happily.

When I made these meatballs the first time, my family immediately declared them as your best ever! and demanded that I only make these from now on. I took that as a compliment. 🙂

Here's an overview of what you'll need to make meatballs with tomato sauce. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below.

Meatballs With Tomato Sauce Recipe

Grated Parmesan: Make sure you use finely grated and not coarsely shredded parmesan. The cheese acts much like breadcrumbs would and helps keep the juices inside the meatballs.

Kosher salt and black pepper: I use kosher salt in most of my recipes. If using fine salt, you might want to use less salt.

Olive oil: I love cooking with this delicious oil, but if you'd rather use an oil with a higher smoke point, you can use avocado oil instead.

Yes. The method outlined here, of adding the raw meatballs to the sauce and cooking them, works to cook them fully. Do use a saucepan with a lid to ensure even cooking.

For tender and fluffy meatballs, add a creamy ingredient such as an egg or some sour cream. And handle the beef mixture lightly. Try not to overwork it, or the meatballs will turn out dense.

They are mildly spicy. Depending on your personal preferences in terms of heat, you might consider using just ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. You can also omit the cayenne completely.

I love this recipe as is and almost always make it as written. But in case you'd like to vary the basic recipe, here are a few ideas for you:

Mashed cauliflower is also a good choice and it works well to absorb the flavorful sauce. Obviously, you can use regular rice or pasta if you prefer.

Leftovers keep very well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. I reheat them very gently in the microwave, covered, on 50% power.
