So I made these savoury pan-fried Italian meatballs recently because I wanted to have something new for my weekly menu and I believe you should add them to yours too!
In a large bowl, break apart the beef with your hands. Pour the egg over the ground beef, and add the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and (if you like) grated cheese.
Using your hands, mix the beef mixture in the bowl, ensuring the ingredients are well combined (do not over-mix).
Form the meat mixture into 12 to 15 small balls using your hands. Add the meatballs to a large pan coated with nonstick spray, and place over medium-low heat. Note: spray liberally (or use 1 tablespoon of olive oil instead) so that the meatballs don’t stick to the pan.
Cook meatballs until completely cooked (i.e., no longer visibly pink), occasionally turning gently to cook all sides. In the last few moments of cooking, add enough sauce to cover the meatballs.
