Combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.

Mix until well combined and form into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add canned tomatoes, bay leaves, and sugar to the skillet; stir to combine.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.

Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to low.

Simmer for 30-40 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens.

Serve meatballs with sauce over pasta or on their own.
