In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160Β°F (71Β°C).
Reduce the heat to low and spoon marinara sauce over each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the patties simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each patty, replace the lid, and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.
Remove the patties from the skillet and serve hot. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve alongside pasta, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables.
