Ingredients

1 lb ground pork

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup milk

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, milk, egg, salt and black pepper. Mix together until well combined.

Step 2

Form the pork mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices over the meatballs. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the meatballs and tomato sauce hot, either by themselves, with buttered spaghetti or with crusty bread.
