Ingredients
- ¾ lb Ground beef Or 1½ lbs of ground beef and omit the pork
- ¾ lb Ground pork
- 1 tbs Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 cup Onion
- ½ cup Green bell peppers
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 can Corn
- 1 packet Sazon Goya sin achote
Instructions
- In a bowl place the beef and season it with the garlic powder, salt, and black peppers. Add the egg and bread crumbs and stir to combine all together.
- Grab some of the meat and place on the palm of your hands and roll it to make about 2inch balls. Set aside and continue with the rest of the meat.
- In a food processor, mince the onion, green pepper and garlic.
- In a cooking pot, coat the bottom with oil, and heat on medium/high heat. When hot, place the onions, green peppers and garlic inside and cooking till soft and onions are translucent. About 3 minutes.
- Once your sofrito (the onions, green peppers and garlic) is cooked, add the meat balls to the pot. (I like to place them all in a circle so they are all touching the bottom of the pot.)
- Brown the meatballs on all its sides and combine it with the sofrito. Don’t cook them all the way through. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Once your meat is browned, add the tomato sauce, can of corn, and sazon goya and stir. Bring it to a boil and then lower your head to low/medium so that the sauce can simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Serve with rice and enjoy!
