ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

canned tomatoes

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: crushed tomatoes

Fresh tomatoes can enhance flavor, while crushed tomatoes are often cheaper.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point, while vegetable oil is generally less expensive.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber, while crushed crackers can be a cost-effective binder.

Mix ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

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

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

Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add canned tomatoes, bay leaves, sugar, and red pepper flakes.

Stir the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

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

Simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
