How to make Coca-Cola Meatballs
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. Using cooking spray, grease a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12-inch) oven dish.
Step 2: Place the beef, bread crumbs, egg, water, half of the chopped onion, half of the green bell pepper (optional), and half of the salt & black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until just combined. Then, shape the mixture into balls. Onto the prepared oven dish, place the meatballs in a single layer.
Step 3: Whisk the rest of the onion, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well mixed. Then, add the garlic along with the tomato sauce, coca-cola, Worcestershire sauce, and green bell pepper. Mix well and pour this on top of the meatballs.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, turning the meatballs twice as they bake, until the sauce is bubbly and the meatballs are cooked through.
Step 5: Serve these meatballs over pasta, and do not forget the sauce. This makes for a delicious dinner or appetizer (smaller meatballs). Enjoy!
