Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano.
Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. This recipe should yield about 16-18 meatballs.
Brush or drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown evenly.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve your baked meatballs with your favorite marinara sauce, pasta, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
