Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, add meatballs to hot pan and cook until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" slices.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" slices.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Coarsely crush crackers.

    In a mixing bowl, combine crackers and 1 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    Add ground pork, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.

    Form pork mixture into 12 equally-sized meatballs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs and Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add meatballs, onions, and bell peppers to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until vegetables are tender and meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 8-10 minutes.

    Uncover; add tomato sauce and stir often until meatballs are coated, 60-90 seconds.

    Remove from burner and evenly top with shredded cheese.

    While meatballs and vegetables cook, continue recipe.
