Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix.
Add the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the meatballs dense.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes. This step adds flavor but does not need to fully cook the meatballs.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, over pasta, or as a main dish with sides.
