Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
4
Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
5
Form into desired size meatballs, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6
Place in preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).
7
In a mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients until mixed well.
8
Place the cooked meatballs in the slow cooker. Top with the pepper sauce and cook on high for 2-3 hours (or on low for 5-6 hours).
9
When ready, cook the pasta al dente. Serve the peppered meatballs over the cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
