Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Combine the ground beef, whisked egg, Pork Panko, and Herb Garden in a mixing bowl. Stir to evenly combine.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. While the olive oil is warming, form your first batch of meatballs.
Sear the meatballs, rotating periodically, browning them on all sides. They don’t need to be cooked the whole way through, beacuse they will cook further in the sauce.
In a large sauce pot, warm the sauce over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the sauce once they have been browned.
Once the sauce comes to a low bubble, turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid, and simmer until serving (about 30 minutes).
Spiralize the sweet potatoes, then place them in a glass or metal bowl. Boil enough water to cover the noodles, then pour the boiling water over the noodles. Let the noodles soak for 30 minutes, until tender, but not mushy.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked noodles!

Notes

Little Helper ideas: involve your kiddo with turning the crank on the spiralizer, whisking the eggs for the meatballs, pouring the pork panko, or sprinkling the spices.
