Instructions
- Preheat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Combine onion, garlic, salt, pepper and ground beef together in a large bowl. Form into small meatballs and place into hot pan. Cook about 2 minutes per side until browned. Reduce heat and stir in pizza sauce. Gently coat meatballs in sauce, adding in water where necessary to thin sauce. Cover to keep warm until meatballs are thoroughly cooked.
