Beef Meatballs in Sauce
Beef meatballs in sauce are a prepared dish featuring seasoned ground beef shaped into spheres and simmered in a savory tomato- or broth-based sauce. The meatballs typically contain herbs, breadcrumbs, and aromatics for flavor, while the sauce contributes moisture and additional seasoning. This protein-rich meal provides substantial iron and B vitamins but varies in fat and sodium content depending on preparation methods. Commonly served with pasta or crusty bread, it may contain gluten from breadcrumbs and often benefits from slow cooking to develop tender texture and layered flavors.
