Method
 

  1. Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until just combined—do not overwork.
  2. Form into small meatballs using your hands or a scoop (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
  3. Brown the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and brown on all sides (about 5–6 minutes total).
  4. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, stir in tomato sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add browned meatballs to the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, or until meatballs are fully cooked (internal temp 160°F/71°C).
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
