Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup Guinness
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 20 meatballs.

5. 5

   In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.

6. 6

   In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes, Guinness, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

7. 7

   Return the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

8. 8

   Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

10. 10

    Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
