Meatball Casserole
  1. Mix meatball ingredients: Using your hands, gently mix pork, beef, breadcrumbs, pecorino, salt, eggs, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl.

  2. Shape meatballs: Form mixture into 2-inch balls.

  3. Brown meatballs: Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs; cook, turning, until browned all over, about 10 minutes.

  4. Remove from skillet: Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate.

  5. Add onion and pepper flakes: Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 4 minutes.

  6. Add tomatoes and basil: Add tomatoes and basil; simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.

  7. Return meatballs to pan and simmer: Return meatballs and any juices to pan. Simmer, turning meatballs once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.

  8. Add mozzarella and broil: Heat broiler. Arrange mozzarella on top of meatballs. Broil until melted, 2 to 3 minutes; serve.
