  3. Cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  4. Put meatballs on a plate, cut each into halves, and ladle sauce over the meatballs to serve.

Recipe Note

My dad created this recipe in college. And has been a family favorite ever since! For added flavor, add seasoning salt to beef, or use bison.
