Introducing my Hearty Homemade Meatballs

After plenty of trial and error and more than a few batches that crumbled, turned to slop or simply missed the mark, I've finally created a meatball recipe that I'm genuinely proud of.

They're tender, flavour-packed and made with simple, everyday ingredients. Whether you serve them over pasta, with fluffy rice, creamy mashed potatoes or alongside a slice of crusty homemade bread, they're the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table.

One little tip I’ve learned along the way is to begin with the Napoli sauce. Allowing it to gently simmer while you prepare the meatballs gives the herbs and seasonings time to infuse the tomatoes, creating a beautifully rich and flavourful sauce.





  1. Rolled up meatballs, set out on a baking tray.

If your mince meat wasn't previously frozen, you could portion the remainder and freeze for another meal, on a busy week night.


I’m looking forward to you filling your own kitchen with the wonderful aroma of these homemade meatballs gently simmering in Napoli sauce. However you choose to serve them, be generous with the sauce and have plenty of crusty bread nearby for soaking up every last drop.


Happy Cooking,
