Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 0.5 pound Ground Pork
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a large plate or tray.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet in batches if necessary. Sear the meatballs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned evenly.
Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of low-carb sauce or side dish.
