Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 12 meatballs.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 sliced onion and 4 sliced carrots. Cook over medium until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in 15 oz crushed tomatoes and 0.5 cup water. Stir, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low until meatballs are cooked through and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
