Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and milk.
Add the egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl.
Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients together until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a round meatball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. This step locks in the juices and adds flavor.
Once seared, transfer the meatballs to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through (165°F or 74°C internal temperature).
While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a large pot over low heat.
Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the pot with the marinara sauce and let them simmer for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Serve the meatballs hot over spaghetti, with crusty bread, or as an appetizer with toothpicks. Don't forget a sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top!
