Steps

1.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, flour, Panko bread crumbs, salt, thyme, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
2.
Mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 24 equal-sized meatballs.
4.
Place them on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
5.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Add the meatballs and cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
10.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and optional herbs (oregano, basil, and thyme).

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
12.
Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, stirring gently to coat them evenly.

Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes.

While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
